I don't know what to make of this. Regular tiktok just is sooooo offputting to me. The 50x overlays. The voiceovers which are the basis of the content, with the video that has NOTHING to do with the content. The chinese spying. It's all just very bad.
But then I remember a federated version would be.......different. I can't imagine it would be like tiktok with text overlays. I can't imagine the content would be similar either. It'll be like "here's the better way to sudo your linux....."
Which, as someone who doesn't care about linux, I'd find it less offensive, but still wouldn't care about it.
All in all, I'm not excited for it.
My Tiktok feed is legal analysis of court cases, magic the gathering card reviews, and Marvel deep dives. You get fed what you watch.
Just report that voiceover shit.
Yes, TikTok has now 10 minutes long videos. The feed is based on what you interact with. There is quality content there.
