Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The best outcome. I don’t like TikTok, but red scare forcing them to sell is bad too.
it's the best social media site.
when I post about trans issues on TikTok I'll get thousands upon thousands of likes and lots of really supportive comments. Only a couple trolls.
Post it on youtube and you get like 40 views, a bunch of dislikes, and a couple of slurs
Hexbear put on fucking blast
We are an intellectual forum
The modern agoge
It’s gotten much worse because of American meddling. The site was intentionally suppressing videos about BLM in 2020. They also have a ´beauty’ algorithm that gives preference to white, skinny, young influencers at the expense of everybody else.
yeah trolls on tiktok still without fail comment "post this is on instagram reels" under trans, neurodivergent, etc. people's videos to imply they'd get ruthlessly bullied if they'd have posted outside of tiktok. insta comments and content are pretty unfiltered and i guess that attracts the most edgy type of people. plus, tiktok straight up started out being run by teenage queer cosplayers, instagram is just zoomer/millennial facebook
OH also, this is fucking wild OK.
Most of the time, YouTube Shorts literally DO NOT ALLOW WOMEN TO VIEW VIDEO GAME RELATED CONTENT. YouTube Analytics has a demographic report and it the typical split is GREATER THAN 99 PERCENT MALE.
My TikTok consistently does like 70/30 for gaming stuff (the vast majority of my videos) and like 60/40 or 55/45 for non-gaming stuff.
It consistently shows me news/protests/major events early and sometimes I don't even see those things reported anywhere else
Absolutely
i stopped using TikTok because I was spending too much time on it, also the format encourages broad generalization and flashy statements to keep attention, which annoys me even from people I agree with (this is not a moral judgement just a personal grievance). politically the users are much better than any other mainstream social media.
i've tried getting back on there to keep up with events in Palestine but that stuff doesn't show up as much anymore.
