Tiktok sucks (hexbear.net)

I installed it out of curiosity, and God damn, this is the worst form of social media yet. It seems like it's designed to accomplish two things: keep me scrolling, and eventually make me depressed. It's basically paralyzing to use.

I didn't make an account, so I guess its a bit like looking at the front page of YouTube, which is also terrible. But out of all the social media I've used in my life tiktok seems like the worst because of how much it sucks you in, and the type of content on it. Runner up is Instagram, but I deleted my account there years ago and never looked back.

Call me a boomer or w/e, but this shit melts your brain even more than everything else already does.

You didn’t even stay long enough to see the Kamala HQ Chappelle Roan edits

Chappelle Roan

I'm now at the age where I have no idea who new pop stars are. I've never seen this person before lmao

I’m in my 30s and not into pop music or in touch with current pop stars (my kids like to remind me of this), but Chappelle Roan is all over queer TikTok, so if you follow queer creators, you’ll end up hearing her stuff. Pretty much all of her songs are about her experiences as a lesbian. It’s neat.

It's also worth noting she hates the Dems for the genocide in Gaza, if the Dems are using her stuff at all it's probably unauthorized. But if sockpuppet accounts are posting pro-Kamala content using her music she probably can't do anything about it.

Oh I didn’t realize she’d spoken about that. Based.
