Tiktok ban is a good opportunity to educate the common folk on the benefits of federation

Although I am not sure if short video format addicts' needs can be fixed with this elegant solution but it definitely works well enough as reddit and twitter replacement.

Video hosting is too expensive for a platform that's not run by a big company.

Shit ain't free!

But text is cheap enough to make text base federated social media a thing. So freedom oriented plebs have a refuge.

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

I don't respect corporate trash... But if it works for you, great!

Make sure to have location sharing enabled;)

I don't see how this has anything to do with federated platforms. I'd argue that watching Loops is just as bad for one's mental health than TikTok is.
