like i just installed this app and i cannot believe how toxic it is, literally people telling eachother to kts over something as trivial as referencing an "old" meme (think hyperpigmentation), and its just a constant stream of negativity, its always "bro thinks hes ", " ahh ___ 😭", "🌽🏀", or "🔑🔑🔑🔑" or "sybau", like, what happened to old tiktok? why is being cruel "edgy" and "funny" now?
Ane here I'm thinking I'm so off base posting positive content. It's just the youth culture. Can't say as I blame them. It's a lot tougher now then when I was younger.
Social apps are like milk puddings. It starts off sweet and pleasant but if you leave it too long all the gross fatty stuff floats to the surface and renders it inedible. Nasty people make the most noise, nice people get fed up and abandon. The result, a conglomeration of psychotics, know alls, extremists and every low life humanity has to offer. The internet is like a huge milk pudding that has gone off, all the niceness at the bottom out of reach, all the shit all crusted on the top repelling everyone away. It's got to the point where a whole country has eaten so much crusty vile shit they've voted one in.
That’s what happens when a platform embraces senile pants-crapping dictators and overweight white supremacists.
It's a propaganda machine now. No free speech exists anymore on the app.
Yeah idk why TikTok is like that but it’s not mostly TikTok though but there’s instagram which nobody uses anymore and then there’s YouTube which people still use to this day and there’s twitter but nobody hasn’t posted or used it for long time and there’s Bluesky which it’s alternative twitter as well and then there’s lemon8 which nobody doesn’t use anymore unfortunately. And there’s Reddit where people aren’t active that much anymore. And nobody doesn’t use discord anymore or other platforms though.
It’s always been toxic, I actually cannot stand most users on there ngl. I just go on there for the content/making my own content
It's your fyp. I haven't noticed a single thing that people have been complaining about.
Make absolutely certain you do not interact with videos you don't like. No commenting, no checking the comments, no liking, no sharing, no looking at the creators page. Hit not interested and move on.
In the past week I've been told or have seen people complaining that tiktok is full of provocative dancing, right wing extremists, instagram memes, no leftist or progressive content, racism, and brain rot.
My fyp is animal videos, content about the games I'm playing right now, music I enjoy, and progressive comedians. Occasionally I get a video of a local protest against the current US administration or a pro labor post. I haven't seen anything like that you're describing. Occasionally it tries to serve me "young people romance drama", I click not interested, it goes away.
what do the keys mean? what is the hyperpigmentation meme?
This is like asking your razorblade why it’s so sharp and cutty.
