      TikTok is popular because their algorithm is amazing and very addictive. Even without people leaving to boycott the new owners, it will soon fade fast once the new algorithm tweaks start kicking in.

      It’s interesting to look around for alternatives abd realize how tuned in tiktok was. I tried upscrolled and I hated how the feed was continuous and didn’t snap to each video. Uninstalled shortly thereafter

      I never used TikTok, but I’m not really interested in joining Yet Another Social Media app anyway.

      I feel like a lot of us are exhausted by the treadmill of social media. Your friends don’t even post anymore, they just re-share stuff in their stories.

      who wanna bet „upscrolled“ (never heard of it) paid the verge to write this article?

      I signed up for UpScroll last night. I’m not on tik tok, Instagram, Facebook or X, so I’m interested in seeing where this fledgling app goes. I am on bluesky and obviously Reddit, so I think this will be all I need

      My FYP has already been scrubbed. I had to search for Alex, protests, or MN to actually see content (for now).

      When I scroll normally on the FYP, the algorithm doesn’t show any news coverage, tiktokers reacting/talking about it, or anything like that.

      OP is a bot/paid shill. He’s posted about his garbage app like 50 times in the last day alone. This is like the 5th time he’s posted and deleted this exact same post on this sub

      this is a sign that even americans feel more secure about their personal data in the hands of the chinese gov instead of the us gov, esp with what the federal gov has been doing to its own citizen

      Someday, people will come to the conclusion that it would be in their best interest NOT to look for alternatives, and just stop with social media altogether. What an absolute life sucking addiction it is. Go out and see the world.

      What would it take for douyin to become popular(other than offering it in english)? From what I heard, its not as bad as the western version

      If you join another ’social‘ media app, I’ve got bad news for you.

      I was curious about the founder. 1 second on his x.com, I found him re-tweet Caitlin Johnstone, who is an obnoxious witch who once put dozens of Ukrainian flags on her name to mock Ukraine activists. „Look at me, I support Ukraine!“ She is an ex-astrologist and a grifting beast. He also follows George Galloway and some Mintpress News people.

      Benefit of the doubt is that he seems like a good person. He may not be aware of what is fringe, even within progressive circles. I’ve seen politicians I like do the same thing.

      Coming from the Verge, it’s a probably a psyop. Jay Penske owns a lot of media already. You don’t need to replace TikTok. Edit: To clarify, delete TikTok and touch more grass.

      It’s still a China app run by USA now. China still owns 19% of the ownership and has access to the data even though the data is stored in US company. They are laughing because now USA is doing all the work for them spying.

      Dropped TikTok like a hot stone when they kissed the ring last year. Not interested in joining the next thing.
