I hope tiktok bans US users to avoid a sale.

I’d be fine with that. Hopefully it means grandma stops sending me “funny videos”.

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 27 points 6 months ago

The "funny videos" will continue on Facebook until morale improves

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 months ago

I find the funny videos being sent endearing almost as much as they are relentless.

I read this as grandma sending you “furry videos” the first time. I was like what?

Not sure what buying a short form video platform has to do with creating a new internet dedicated to privacy and open protocols, but cool? Maybe he just wants the user base

Wild how the most left leaning social media sights somehow keep ending up in the targets of unimaginably wealthy people who stand to lose a lot from simply making the economy fair. Im sure giving the control of information flow to them will be so much better.

I hope he spends billions on it only to resell it for millions after the internet moves on.

The Internet can't even move on from Twitter and it's practically radioactive.
