I started using the app a few weeks back. I try to always limit the length of my browsing sessions to avoid losing too much time.

I also have dedicated accounts for different types of content (movies and shows, language learning, parenting, history, etc.) so that I still maintain some kind of focus.

Also the Revanced version helps with no ads and limited tracking compared to the original version.

The best would be a Fediverse alternative, I know there is https://goldfish.social/ but it still seems in an early stage, hopefully it will get more mature in the future.

    Tiktok is fine. The hate over a video app is absurd.

      The amount of metrics it captures is mind boggling, it’s literally Chinese spyware and they can actually influence your opinion on things like that not being super fucking scary.

        Oh God, then know about my very very secret love of Jim Gaffigan and cars. Maybe they’ll convince me to buy a BYD over Tesla!!!
