It's called Instagram or YouTube Shorts. Same thing...TikTok offered nothing new. And I'm here, but all I see on Lemmy are the same posts 3-4 times, predictable pearl clutching reactions to everything, and very limited news coverage with a proclivity for posting random, fringe sources
You have a point. It felt different when I signed up but now all the most upvoted content here seems to be screenshots from Twitter, regurgitated memes and similar low-effort dopamine triggers. And when I left reddit it was mostly reposted TikTok reels anyway. Cognitive fast food that's easy to lose yourself in but unhealthy and unfulfilling as a habit. Lemmy doesn't really have many niche communities to outweigh the slop either. Consequently, I spend less time here as well. Which is probably a good thing.
Those were both responses to TikTok shredding revenues for those services.
It's a huge reason for the TikTok ban: meta and Google have no real good counter to.it, due to first-man-in factor.
I don't respect corporate trash... But if it works for you, great!
