No Need for Twitter—TikTok Users Can Now Make Text Posts

Musk getting fucked from all directions. I love to see it.

34

Can TikTok users even read though?

soon, bots that read it for you with a AI generated person on a vertical video

I dislike that piece of Chinese spyware as much as the next guy here, but that take is incredibly rude and condescending.

Young people tend to read as much if not more than older generations.

Not to mention so obvious joke that it's not even funny. Multiple times in this thread too.

It's not even about whether they can or not, I just don't know if anyone using the ADHD video platform wants to read? Did anyone on TikTok actually want this? Genuinely I'm curious, I don't use it and my perception of the way it's used makes me curious.

Social media platforms really smelling blood in the water. Probably one of the most telling signs that Twitter is done.

I mean, I have as much of a problem with Musk and his insane antics as the next guy, but is TikTok really an improvement in that regard?

Are we at the point where we have to select "the lesser fascist" when contemplating who should have control of our social media?

Oh no, both are awful. I wouldn't use either of them. I just enjoy seeing Twitter crash and burn and everyone else grabbing for scraps.

No need to smell the excrement in your left hand when the shit in your right hand smells just as strong!

How are the hourly updates about how much fucked Elon is, related to technology? Please, stop!

No need for TikTok either, really. All of that same shit is available on a dozen other services. Let's just be gone with them both.

This is when I'm going to miss reddits revanced sub. I wouldn't even dream of using tiktok without spoofing my device. Unfortunately I've found revanced is very picky over the tiktok versions it works with.

So yeah I'm not updating until I know someone else was successful with a revanced patch

This is more like Snapchat and IG Stories than Twitter.
