I think people blame COVID for why people seem dumber and meaner as of late but I don't think it was COVID you guys

@cube_drone@mastodon.social That’s how long I lasted. IMO Tiktok is the closest thing we have to a malevolent demon. It’s a superhuman entity whose one goal is to find what weaknesses exist in your soul and then to turn you into its slave. Most social media has this now, but Tiktok is so much worse. Incidentally if you turn off history on Youtube, the Shorts feature no longer enough information to do the infinite suggestions thing

@cube_drone@mastodon.social I've never made a go of it either. And I'm not in the US, though, so it's a bit different Friends share fun ones on elsewhere. There's good people on it too - as with just about everything. Doesn't mean I want its claws in me, Meta has ruined the technojoy I once had for socials

@cube_drone@mastodon.social I remember the „early days“ when TikTok was new (here). It was lovely, it was creative. Mostly people lip syncing to other sounds and innocent skits from all around the world. No influencing at all, just creativity. It was fascinating. It’s long gone.

@cube_drone@mastodon.social I'm so sorry you had that experience. I mean, I was going to say, "yeah, you're a grown ass adult, that's why you haven't tried TikTok." But um, well I guess, now you know.

@cube_drone@mastodon.social Interesting. My wife is on Tiktok (read-only) and I see a representative selection of what is in her feed and she has none of those things. I suppose there is a default raw feed that is garbage but she would have curated her follows a few years ago and whatever is algorithmically shown maybe is based on that?

@cube_drone@mastodon.social > I'm a grown-ass adult This simple statement is strong justification for *not* using TikTok

@cube_drone@mastodon.social I *knew* there was a reason I am avoiding TikTok, you gave me several. Thanks.

@cube_drone@mastodon.social my psychiatrist believes that that is also why ADHD cases have exponentially grown. She's like "do you use TikTok?" I laughed and said "I'm a grumpy millennial. I have more sense than that"

@cube_drone@mastodon.social It's as if a foreign adversary made a "Trojan horse app" that simply amplifies our online culture as its secret weapon.

I had to create a Facebook account for development. On the third login I got terrible right wing propaganda on top of my feed. It is all so f**king broken

@cube_drone@mastodon.social Don’t worry. I'm a full grown adult too and I've never had the inclination to look at it.
