I downloaded Tik Tok thinking I could curate my feed to be cool leftist short videos but instead it's even more of a disgusting hellworld than Twitter. Every leftist video I land on (the algorithm will also suggest fascist videos) is either an argument between leftists and nazis, an argument between leftists and libs, or (more commonly) leftists arguing with other leftists. I've learned nothing and my mood is ruined.

Short videos and tweet length comments are systemically reactionary. Embrace the immortal science of posterism.

e: forgot to mention that the app is just straight up abusive to anyone who isn't a cis white dude

    yeah, i use the app and i don't get it either. it generally curates your FYP really well so you shouldn't be looking at reactionary or bigoted content unless you engaged with it a lot or left a like or smth

      yeah if you argue with people in the comments it counts as interaction.
