I literally can't, because I've got tiktok DNS-blocked
-
same bro, shitter is also on that block list

I'm that friend, but I've started downloading tiktoks and send the video file instead of a link so I know they'll watch it
-
Same here. Can't download video means it's not worthy of a share.

That's why I use TikNot, so I don't have to use TikTok itself or have an account.
-
My friends download them then send. :)

yeah im about to hop off tiktok lol. every user that types a response is just dumber than the last. doesn't matter the video topic. Some 30 year experienced chef cooking? sorry, Fatweeny69 knows more than that guy. car driving down the road? sorry. smoldickmas will type 4 paragraphs how something was wrong while driving. it's getting so old lmao, and impossible to converse at all.

I stopped using it when it was briefly 'banned' then 'saved by Trump™️' and while I do think the platform has (had?) more merit than people give it, it only took a few days for my brain to reset, and now though I have picked it back up here and there, I always get quickly overwhelmed and put it back down. It's nice that Loops and I guess Bluesky are trying to fill that gap, but I think it's probably best they don't succeed in copying the Tiktok algorithm. Though I learned and laughed a lot on the app, it was at the cost of having to sort any real information from multitudes of misinformation and a crap ton of my time wasted, and it left my dopamine receptors completely unable to motivate me to do anything else but watch short videos for a quick hit. I feel much better sticking to platforms like Lemmy and Mastodon that I enjoy but I could give or take. And like you said, the discourse is just abysmal.

I need to get a new source for memes. Using Reddit less and less and having access to meme sources would help the decline.
-
yeah... i really wish there was a FOSS alternative to reddit with tons of shitposting and quality memes, like how lemmy is a meme-filled FOSS alternative to... waitasecond.
-
Hahah I left myself open to that but I mean the volume and breadth of memes in Lemmy is vastly less than on Reddit. I try to contribute what I can where possible but it’s miles away at the moment.
E.g. I can get metal memes, formula 1 memes, dank memes etc in quite high volumes there.

Imgur?

Not been on there for a couple of years, will give it another go, thanks!

It's not a story that ByteDance would tell you.

The homies are all on RedNote 小红书.

I'd rather tiktok links than shitbook links. Most of my friends still suck the zuck nuts and refuse to leave, and share links instead of screen caps like a civilized person.

When they fled to XHS:
No, it's fine, i just... i didnt think it would be chinese.

You tube links

This is what I feel when I see a reddit link around here.
Every time I see a screenshot from there: "why are we giving them traffic for the screenshot?"
A screenshot doesn't give them traffic. A link does.
