Can you clarify? You’re saying you don’t currently want to try TT because you don’t think it’s existed long enough, and/or that you didn’t try it before because you didn’t think it would last that long?
Idk dude, the latter would literally be exactly what people said about the Internet. “It’s just a fad”, “it won’t go anywhere/be useful/last long”.
I mean, our ineffective af government was somehow able to rally bipartisan support against this very popular app that many Americans use to create/manage/advertise their businesses, one that is the only slightly left-leaning social media site and one that isn’t controlled by American oligarchs. But you still think it’s not important?
That’s fair. lol. Agree to disagree. They’re not coming for “us” at least!
No, I’m saying g TikTok is one of a number of fads that have come and gone over the years, it’s not really important. I’m not some Boomer ignoring the Internet, I’m a Millennial who remembers Vine.
It’s one platform. Among many. They come and go over the years. I’m not saying there aren’t important discussions to be had about TikTok, I’m just saying let’s not pretend it’s more than it is.
The Internet is persistent. Communities evolve. Platforms depreciate. Life goes on.
One platform that dominates for a handful of years at most isn’t that important

TikTok isn’t in any way left leaning. It still seeks to exploit people the same as any other business, they’re just better at it.
Yea, also calling TikTok „the only left leaning social media“ on Lemmy of all things seems a tad misguided.
