That's fine. Not every platform has to work the same way and attract the same communities.

- nomdep 11mo agoIt would be great if that were true, but TikTok is filled with accounts dedicated to virtue signal and “news”. I’ve tried multiple times to clean my feed but there are too many
- aprilthird2021 11mo agoWhat platform and medium is more suited for that? All the major social media platforms based in the US also censor such topics and don't promote them
- izacus 11mo agoXitter and Blue sky are just US folks screaming about politics these days, can't you just join those and let us watch cat videos on TikTok in peace?
- aprilthird2021 11mo agoThey are not video platforms though. Is there any scrollable social media video platform like what you are saying exists elsewhere without the censorship we see here? Not really

- pols45 11mo agoThere’s a difference between 1-to-1, 1-to-many, and 1-to-all media. Once you move into the broadcast realm, the 1-to-all, you’re no longer dealing with a tank or a pond but with an ocean. And once you’ve created an ocean, you cant divide it so that predators swim in one corner and parasites in another. Everything coexists, mixes, mutates. That’s why debates about what platforms like TikTok “should” or “shouldn’t” do are hollow. There is never ending debate but all sorts of strangeness and surprises emerge every single day, that no one can predict or control. That is the nature of the Ocean.

- GeoAtreides 11mo agoThat's true. You can post creative works on both Ao3 and spacebattles, but you certainly can not post some Ao3 works on spacebattles (or, indeed, anywhere).
