Musk getting fucked from all directions. I love to see it.

Can TikTok users even read though?

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago

soon, bots that read it for you with a AI generated person on a vertical video

I dislike that piece of Chinese spyware as much as the next guy here, but that take is incredibly rude and condescending.

Young people tend to read as much if not more than older generations.

[–] GunnarRunnar@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

Not to mention so obvious joke that it's not even funny. Multiple times in this thread too.

[–] donuts@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Do emoji count as reading?

Can we not?

[–] 332@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes yes yes.

[–] vaeleery@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

It's not even about whether they can or not, I just don't know if anyone using the ~~ADHD~~ video platform wants to read? Did anyone on TikTok actually want this? Genuinely I'm curious, I don't use it and my perception of the way it's used makes me curious.

There's really no need for TikTok either. 😉

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No need except to piss off Musk, which is a pretty decent reason for the time being.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Social media platforms really smelling blood in the water. Probably one of the most telling signs that Twitter is done.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Twitter will lose some more people for sure.

[–] 332@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, I have as much of a problem with Musk and his insane antics as the next guy, but is TikTok really an improvement in that regard?

Are we at the point where we have to select "the lesser fascist" when contemplating who should have control of our social media?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Oh no, both are awful. I wouldn't use either of them. I just enjoy seeing Twitter crash and burn and everyone else grabbing for scraps.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Threads added a follow feed today as well. I imagine a huge sucking sound at Twitter HQ

[–] rynzcycle@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

That's "er" HQ now I believe.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

Twitter HQ? More like Twitter SD.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

No need to smell the excrement in your left hand when the shit in your right hand smells just as strong!

[–] torafugu@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

I'm still not going to use TikTok.

[–] deafboy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

How are the hourly updates about how much fucked Elon is, related to technology? Please, stop!

[–] EnderWi99in@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

No need for TikTok either, really. All of that same shit is available on a dozen other services. Let's just be gone with them both.

[–] Teknikal@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This is when I'm going to miss reddits revanced sub. I wouldn't even dream of using tiktok without spoofing my device. Unfortunately I've found revanced is very picky over the tiktok versions it works with.

So yeah I'm not updating until I know someone else was successful with a revanced patch

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

This is more like Snapchat and IG Stories than Twitter.

I think people here hate nothing more than tictoc...

TikTok’ers can read? And not only that have reading comprehension?

That’s a hilarious joke.

[–] starlinguk@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

There are literally people in their nineties on there.
