Oof, the article goes on to say all the platforms failed. X just failed a bit more.

This is going to lead to some “well, they’re all about the same.” discourse shenanigans.

What did TikTok do better than the rest? Be annoyingly vertical and short form?

I'm genuinely surprised something owned partly by the Chinese government isn't at the bottom.

On the Chinese only servers they forbsure don't allow it

It drives conflict to the point that neither side of the political torus can speak to each other in a civil manner. "If his forces are united, separate them." - sun tzu

Less accent on actual interactions between fellow consumers plus genZ prevalence?

[–] Zerfallen@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Governments told kids they shouldn't use it. So it naturally became more popular.

I'm surprised those scores are so high honestly

It's fuckin hard being queer on social media

I gotta say, I am pleasantly surprised by Lemmy. I almost never see anything but antifascist allies, and when I do those allies jump that motherfucker's shit.

Lemmy has it's own dens of awful that simp pretty hard for dictators and some pretty shitty regimes

Luckily my instance is defederated from the worst one (IMO)

Lemmy is definitely a lot more accepting of queer people though which I really dig
