They’re banning it for the wrong reasons. But in light of the ban I spent a day scrolling to see what kinda stuff the algo would push on me.

And yeah, burn it with fire. At least on Twitter you get community notes and even without that the top comments usually refute things pretty quickly.

TikTok is just feeding people pure nonsense which is impossible to verify in-app. Everything is intentionally vague af for engagement and the search sucks.

Surprisingly I’ve seen nothing on Gaza. But a lot of bogus alternative medicine scams and MLMs.

Great for seeing what’s going on locally though. As well as things like life hacks, cleaning/organising tips. A federated version with some safeguards for fact checking could be awesome.
