What if there were a service to convert ticktock videos into Lemmy posts? Would that be a good thing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

No, I don't want to see that brainwashing garbage. It's curated to wreck the brains and society of Western democracies.

Everyone should have heard about this by now, but China's version of TikTok is vastly different than ours. It is limited to mostly educational content and has built-in screen time limits. They know what is bad about our version of it, and it's on purpose.

I'm not asking if any platform is better than Lemmy.

I'm asking if it would be good to facilitate the ability to post the user generated content from a terrible platform to Lemmy.

No. That'd be like having your family owned restaurant cook Mr Beast burgers.

You are well beyond reefer madness levels of fear and paranoia.

This was verified by a number of independent researchers. 60 Minutes even did a full segment on it.

This user is a troll, so you can safely ignore them

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

From what I can see, it seems like their opinions go against the grain of the Lemmy userbase. They don't seem to be intentionally antagonizing people.

Right, normal people have negative thousands of karma. Thanks for the gaslighting brah

You're better off pointing out where they said inaccurate things than just saying "troll!"

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Look at their comment history

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't see any overly trolly comments. What'd they say?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

They have over -2000 karma and I've seen them in a multitude of threads just snidely contradicting whatever the common opinion is
