We don’t want a monarchy. We want a spectacle fueled capitalistic society.

Is there some trend in humanity, where it’s like… we don’t care if we suffer so long as it’s not to the benefit of someone else? We gotta build our own suffering machines of culture instead? What’s up with that?

Not sure if users can host their own servers yet, but once that becomes available then I don't see what would stop you.

A platform that's not cleansed of anti-genocide anti-ice content is still a step

What is Tik Tok overtime?

No because the main feed is just whatever is new. Or at least it was a month ago when I used it last.

I'm fine with not having an algorithm I just don't feel the need to see some ladies twat unless I'm looking for that content specifically. I'm not saying the platform is bad, just it needs some work still.

For 12 throw that might be kinda hard. Newish account to promote loops

When did I say anything about banning drugs? I just said I don't think it's a good idea to make more addicitive substances for the sake of addiction.

I don't think they made it addictive. Making an app addictive requires a lot of labour with people from different areas.

Might just look that way because it's using the default theme of Tailwind CSS, which is coincidentally the weapon of choice for sloptimized vibe code.

Short form is cool because it's like constrained writing.

Tiktok was pretty great while it was just silly videos.\ But it's not short form anymore so it's full of political essays and propaganda.

I kinda hope that loops is more like vine than tiktok or vertical YouTube. But it'll probably be up to the instance to govern video length.

Oh get over yourself

Newish account to promote loops

Probably, but it seems to be an open-source fediverse community project with no VC backing, so I don't begrudge them it. Like, how else do you get fediverse projects seen if not in a fediverse discussion community, you want them to just buy Google ads instead?

It's tik tok again, but after you finish your first tik tok feed completely.

Yeah, the fact that it's so normalized in society makes me sick.

Also Microsoft is gonna come for them because they already have a Loops

Its the goon canary in the goon shaft

I'm fine with not having an algorithm

Then why even mentioning it (in a more negative than neutral tone)?

I just don't feel the need to see some ladies twat unless I'm looking for that content specifically. I'm not saying the platform is bad, just it needs some work still.

Whether you use the platform or not, does not really matter (to me). You are right the platform needs some work and they’re putting the work while being one of social media platform that’s being targeted by Zionists.

I have written what, I wanted to write. I have shown the text and image the developer wrote. That’s about it. I’ll leave it at that, I guess.

I can't stand shorts, tick-tock, or any of those videos. The videos I watch are usually comprehensive, longer than 10 mins, and I pause, rewind, slow down ect the video.

I mentioned the algorithm BECAUSE that's why I saw sexual content. No algorithm means when I was scrolling the discover page, I was just getting the most recently uploaded content therefore, sexual content. To be fair, when I first signed up for TikTok back in the day that's what the algorithm tried to shove at me as well.

I think it has potential as a platform, I still have it installed, I was just sharing my experience.

healthy online habits

This kind of pseudo-science is exactly why TikTok is controlled by zionists, why age-gates are coming to Linux, etc, etc, etc.

Is it so wrong to just take a little hit of heroin from time to time?

Is it so wrong to make an absurd, pseudo-scientific claim that's literally destroying the internet?

Because the rest of prohibition has been going so great? jfc.

The last thing that I want is you authoritarian wackos continuing to come for the internet.

You sound like a real saint with super healthy internet habits. Must have huge internet muscles. \s

There is absolutely no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Gotta be careful because that's a goonery slope.

the short video format was designed as being additive,

lmao. designed by whom? additive to what? cool story.

People want to use nuclear weapons. Is that what everybody wants?!?!?!? Because that's what social media is!!! \s

People are really out here enraged about videos being too short. Total baseless nonsense.

The major difference is that there's significant science backing up the claims that excessive sugar is unhealthy.

There's no such science about "social media".

Hopefully that pedo party will be out of business by the end of the year.

Don't know what kind of work you do, but I work with people, my partner works with kids. Short form content is absolutely ravaging minds. But you can believe whatever you want.

Fact is, we see kids that are and aren't raised with access to short form content on social media, and the ones without do a whole lot better.

Speech impediments are getting worse for a reason (the parents have a role in this too, if your around a kid, keep your damn phone in your pocket and talk to the poor thing).

But again, you do you. You can claim its pseudo-science all you want when your kids end up needing a speech therapist and need medication just to finish an old movie 🤙
