Im guessing it's going to be missing all the features that make tiktok popular like duets and pedophilia.

Thanks for the uncomfortable chuckle.

I'm not convinced the Fediverse is devoid of pedophilia, I think we all need to be wary of it and report it whenever we see it.

What does duets mean in this context?

[–] n2burns@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 weeks ago

It's a feature of TikTok where you can put your video side-by-side with some else's video. This seems like a decent explanation.

I think you just perfectly described Roblox

I think it's scary how many of the mainstream platforms this joke could apply to.
