minus-squareEndorkend@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up6·8 months agoI tried TikTok some time ago and got bored with it. I’m the type that prefers long form content. I watch 20-240 minute videos on YouTube, I never got into Vines or the Vines/TikTok clone thing YouTube is doing either. So most of the crap I see from TikTok is here, on Reddit and Mastodon. And normally only the most entertaining crap from a platform gets to other platforms and I’m not impressed by what I’ve seen, at all.
