Yeah I genuinely see no difference between tiktok and other social media. Everyone on reddit/lemmy loves to hate on tiktok I never really got why. If it’s because of data collection they’re doing nothing any different than Facebook, insta, etc. Now X, that’s another story lol.
I dunno. It’s full of articles, I’m reading news constantly, I’m discussing social topics with—now that I think I about it, surprisingly level headed people sharing interesting opinions….i learn a lot here. Sure, I also get shown really stupid shit. But I spend the majority of my time reading stuff. And looking up other stuff when I discuss things. So I’d disagree. Respectfully. My good friend.
Imagine actually using TikTok. Life is too short to spend your time on that shit.

Time enjoyed is not wasted.
Of course, Tik Tok isn’t my jam, so it would be a waste of time for me.
Let’s not suggest that addiction to social media somehow counts as time enjoyed
“if you don’t enjoy the things I enjoy, it’s not real enjoyment”
Not even remotely close to what I said, nice false equivalency though
Why must people yuck other people’s yum?
I used to watch Tiktok a lot. It’s the primary way I heard and learned about left side politics. It has it’s uses.

Lemmy is not better if your concerned about using your time wisely

I don’t use TikTok, but this comment has it backwards. Life is too short to deny yourself fun for some kind of perceived superiority.
Strongly disagree. Life is too short to spend your life on a toxic platform that rots your brain out
That kinda sounds just like a boomer opinion about anything on the internet.
That’s nice. Your opinion has as much value as a shit flavored lolly pop. Your favorite flavor.
You aren’t making a good case for Lemmy being better than TikTok
