Maybe I’m out of the loop, but I think tragedy is a really strong word here.
This will literally be worse than 911 Holocausts
So many people want me to care so badly about fucking Tik Tok. It’s not going to happen! I have real problems!
No it won’t. This is 1 of many lemmy gaming related communities. Living proof gaming communities don’t need TikTok to thrive
Fucking Kotaku, suckin’ that teat as always.
I’m subbed to eight myself, two of which are PC-specific, and one for Xbox.
The fuck are they on about? The gaming community is centered around discord and twitch, maybe with YouTube and Reddit in smaller amounts. tiktok’s death wouldn’t even be noticed.
My gaming consumption has been fine without tiktok and the examples they posted didn’t convince me I need tiktok.
Lmao no it wouldn’t.
Yeah, I mean whose going to steal popular content off of twitch and youtube, and then post it in a horrible bitrate with the wrong orientation.
Snap Chat?
I’m with you there.
Something filmed originally in 16:9 or 16:10 but pasted in portrait mode, using only 1/3 of the screen. Even if you flip your phone sideways, the video is even smaller. GAHHHHHHHH.
It really wouldn’t be. Don’t worry.
Would it though?
Lol, I feel like many communities will become better if tiktok dies. It is the repercussions on specific freedoms that take a hit and it sets a dangerous legal precedent. But everything communitywise should be a net gain.
Lol nah. Kill that’s shit.
Yeah but no.
Fuck tiktok
we should all be thanking congress for finally killing TikTok
This reads more like the panic of an addict who thinks they’re about to be cut off and less like a coherent take on the issue.
In reality, even if this passes the Senate, TikTok will be sold to a US-based holding company. Little will change for the end user. It isn’t going to shut down. And even if it did shut down (which it won’t ), this article really cheapens the meaning of “tragedy.”
No
