People who care about decentralisation, privacy and data sovereignty etc are usually smart enough to understand that endless feeds of short form video is the new asbestos. You'd have better luck selling big macs to vegans.
hear me out. The toxicity of social mefia comes from algorithms and advertising. Lots of short videos by the community can be fun/interesting and not addictive/ brain rotting.
that's like saying Mastodon is bad because Twitter ruined society, I mean how often do you find yourself raging endlessly at Mastodon.
I would love to have a chill way of scrolling these videos without having to live with one of the evils.
That being said i am also sceptical if this is it, I mean why do they want my email?
Excellent points 👍
What an absolute neckbeard take
Ok let's hear your take
There are lots of reasons to want alternatives to social media mega-corps, and the people with those reasons have varied likes and hobbies.
Even amongst the people who care about privacy, decentralization, etc, people still have varied interests. All you have to do is look at the popularity of Tiktok content about privacy, security, programming, etc.
Dude is a basement dweller, and just assumed that was the norm for everyone who shared an interest with him.
I have my own thoughts about hurdles that loops will face, but "fediverse is for snobs" isn't it.
Shhh 🤫 grownups are talking.
Where?
Theres vegan big macs - Theres no vegan tiktok :'(
I meant the ones made out of meat 😛
Yep. Agreed - except it is yet another avenue for monetization should it take hold. People keep acting like the fediverse is some kind of incorruptible platform.
