I’m curious as to how many of you are TikTok users. If not do you watch short form videos anywhere else such as YouTube Shorts or Reels?

Unpopular here, but yes, every day. I’ve been on it since 2019 and my wife and I will cuddle and watch tiktoks that we’ve sent each other throughout the day. We call it “TikTokTime” and really it’s just a debrief period after work where we have time to look at the funnies together and decompress.
I also value tiktok as a social media website independent from influence by the US government that is more privacy-respecting than Instagram or YouTube. I use a modified version of the app that I don’t get shown ads or tiktok shop videos, as well as natively increasing watch speed.
I am also autistic, as is my wife. She’s also chronically ill. It’s nice that we found online communities of creators who go through the same stuff we do. And when it comes to misinformation, I am very liberal with the block button. The tiktok algo is unmatched by other social media companies.
Please share with the class!
Also, it’s very sad to see you have downvotes for just honestly answering the question. Lemmy is great, but the nerds on here need to lighten the fuck up. Use an app to connect with your wife? How dare you!
It’s a revanced patch.
I generally try to avoid direct links or names to protect the app staying up. But if you look for a telegram related to tiktok and a cloud that should point you in the right direction.
I’m not surprised by the downvotes on the original comment, it’s a vestige of former redditors who have an attitude that all social media is garbage. I value my digital privacy quite highly and I know how to protect it. I’m confident that a Singaporean company, ByteDance, is much better for data protection than handing it all over to the Zuck.
