I already moved to redgifs. Goodbye Tik Tok.

I'm sure it really depends on where you live, but here in East Europe I've noticed tiktokkers slowly turning into Z'ers who start accepting Russian disinfo as facts. Meaning, it's already pro-MAGA

Genuinely, how would it be any different to Twitter and Truth Social then? I've not used any of them so maybe I don't understand the distinction between each

A much bigger young audience?

As with all social media, as soon as grandma and grandpa get on, it all goes down hill.

Good thing they don't have the skills to do it and make it attractive to the currect users. I'm fine with Larry Ellison's losing billions in the process.

They literally did that with Facebook. Yeah, plenty of people left, but it worked.

One more step towards the US becoming an NK clone. This is a good opportunity for Loops to advertise themselves as the anti-Tiktok.

No, not North Korea clone but a Nazi Germany clone.

Another interesting news! I'm blessed! Like they already do missinformation.

As if we didn't already know he was thinkjng that?

TikTok was never good. Have at it.

Though, he is always free to start his own MAGA-themed video service, much like he did with Truth Social. I think the problem is — and if he doesn't know it, he's been advised, with crayons and hand puppets — that running a server serving video is orders of magnitude more expensive than running a server hosting a text-based social network.
