    TikTok is nothing but a chinese psyop program to see how they can influence the public.

    And boy howdy did it work, Look at all the absolutely monstrous, horrible shit people did in pursuit of tiktok trends and fame.

        Sorry what? Where the fuck where people doing Internet challenges before tiktok? Oh yeah, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, YOUTUBE.

        People have been doing all kinds of stupid shit online seeking internet clout way before tiktok was even musicly (or whatever it was called)

        I like how you completely ignored the bulk of my statement just to make a pithy comment that is only relevant by ignoring the most important part of my post.

        That really makes you look cool, and have a big penis.

          I did address the bulk of your statement, which is that the app is supposedly being used to influence people. What else is there to address? Your goofy “chinese psyop program” talking point which amounts to nothing more than scaremongering?

      Wtf are you talking about. I’ve been sparsely browsing tiktok since it’s creation and have no idea about any monstrous horrible things people did or see anything relating to some psyop program.

        You are not going to convince anyone here, I’m with you on that but over here all people care about it “not fediverse = bad” so you and I will get downvoted when speaking any rationale that doesn’t put tiktok as the devil’s spawn

          Ahh so the same ol reddit hive mind I wanted to leave behind. Just in another cultish direction, creating a meta of what and who is “right” and “wrong” while interacting here with the stupid use of the upvote/down vote system. What absolute social media garbage lemmy is going to turn into.
