    So tiktok for the fediverse…

    Listen, I’m all for open sourcing stuff and I’m all for the fediverse and all. I just don’t understand why one would want a fediverse tiktok.

    • Short form content is addictive af and doesn’t add anything of substance to society.
    • Video hosting is expensive. Peertube is already struggling. How do you expect to financially sustain video hosting that is addictive to the user (which means more consumption) without running ads? Paywalling it won’t be an option due to the network effect as well.

      Tiktok and the sludge of normal social media is the prime suspect here, not types of freaking videos.

      As for hosting, that’s gonna have to be built/devised long-term. Nothing to do but get to it!
