After successfully recuperating tiktok, politicians are going to once again exploit pseudo-science to outlaw the "infinite scroll." Get ready for the comeback of the pager. Thanks libs!

Is this only for TikTok or is it going to lead to worse Fediverse software? Because all infinite scrolling does is remove to annoyance of hitting next page, it’s a great QoL feature.

I think they mean algorithmic feeds that no human could ever reach the end of; like TikTok, but all the big social media platforms have similar features nowadays.

Anything else would be stupid but who knows what politicians think

Right? Imagine if you were to come into the comments and there are 50 comments but you can only read them 10 at a time.
