People fucking hate AI now, surely talking about humanity as if they are a bunch of livestock will turn that sentiment right around.

Well this app looks like total shit.

First, the website title, it blends in with the background. What the fuck were they doing? Second, I doubt this will resonate well with TikTok’s audience. They want brainrot and slop curated for them. TikTok has an endless ocean of content, while we have a lake of content. I think that’s fine for Lemmy, but not for a TikTok clone. I think TikTok users will join this, scroll for a while, get bored, and go back.

Also to be fair, the site looks better now

I just don’t see it as authoritarian. Wasn’t on a whim, it was voted, and the majority voted to defederate. Does it remove user choice, sure I guess., but so does any form of moderation.

Voting to block a domain and having that domain blocked isn’t comparable to electing an authoritarian leader. Dbzer0 can choose who to and not to federate with. Users who don’t like that move to another instance easily.

Nah, it was decided with a vote. The majority in that server wanted Feddit blocked and that’s what came.
