you can still talk to friends, but not about the vacation

Hmm… interesting. I think I’d still yes, but as I really enjoy talking to friends about things I currently do, rather reluctantly (and not for a very long one).

With your explanation, I can see how you get to that interpretation, although mine would probably different (mainly because I associate post with A: showing it to a larger group simultaniously and B: having a picture or video (but that’s just due to my personal media usage)).
I think I might place the line between a small group of friends you tell it and a larger public Discord server(?) as that mostly feels like the difference between privately talking and posting it to a bigger audience, but it’s complicated.

it’s more ‘would you go on a vacation and just enjoy it, or do you only want to go on vacation so people know you went?’ yeah, that makes sense. I see. I mean I would definitely go to a vacation to enjoy it (and not to show it off or something, in fact my last Instagram post is now over a year ago and I don’t really use Twitter or other personal social media like that). But not talking about it would still be hard as I basically talk to people every day about what I’m doing, where I’m going, what projects I’m working on, etc. So having to stop sharing that would be different to my usual way how I spend time with people. (But I’d just do it all afterwards, often in vacations I don’t have much time anyways to talk to people about it and just catch up later in a longer talk.)

Shitposting on Lemmy would still be a post and prohibited though

The problem is that there is no clear definition of a post. Sure, a tweet or an Instagram is a post. A private message to a friend is probably not a post. But what if you send images of your vacation in a discord server with many friends? The line gets fishy, and if I couldn’t talk to friends, independently to the trip itself, while on vacation, I would also say no.

Neither are you on TikTok, unless you actively go looking for it

That’s just genuine nonsense. The whole point of platforms like TikTok are the modern recommender systems that (simplified) lead to algorithmic radicalisation. Because these systems heavily optimise towards user engagement, they naturally spread misinformation and controversial content.
And because this kind of content statistically gets more user engagement as people commend on it and spend more time with it, it spreads quicker. This has also e.g. been confirmed by a leaked internal Facebook memo.

And additionally, these systems are personalised, so when you start to interact with it, you get more and more similar content. This leads to a radicalisation pipeline in which the platforms normalises these positions in echo chambers to you.

I don’t get your point. I’m against tech monopolies and I hate Google. I want Facebook to be split up and think that the current tech companies are way to powerful, see this video by Last Week Tonight. I use duckduckgo and try to avoid google services.

Don’t pretend to be doing any of this for any kind of moral high ground when you can’t even be bothered to look into something before arguing for it.

Lmao. How would you get the thought I wouldn’t have “looked into this”. That sounds like antivax level of arguments.

Everything you said is basically wrong.

And this gives me the feeling I’m much better informed than you tbh.
Because no, what I wrote is factually correct, read for example this, this or this or just so many more articles, outlining detailed how TikTok censors content made by minorities, talking about the Uighur camps or so much more.

I feel like you can’t grasp the thought that someone knows how bad many tech companies are and still can see that content behind TikTok is at least as terrible. And what I’m writing isn’t any more boomer-like than what you write, you even use the same talking points but are just ignoring any of TikTok’s flaws.

Am I a Reddit boomer when I’m 21 and like (some) Tiktok-esque kind of content?

I’ve never used TikTok, but not because I don’t get the idea of using audio as meme template or because I don’t like short videos. But just because that specific platform itself is so vile.
Not just talking about funding the Chinese government, TikTok e.g. reduces reach of neurodivergent people. Even worse, it censors information against China‘s authoritarianism and much more.

Why can’t I be happy that this awful platform loses reach? The content itself will be kept, there are enough copycats.

Also, Lemmy is full of people that stopped using Reddit for ethical reasons. So it’s not surprising many are against TikTok as well tbh.

The true horror is her hand

👀

I hate the “new” gay flag :(

It’s kind of baffling to me how so many people on here don’t get the most obvious of joke / satire…

…no? It obviously is

Actually yeah

In 2000, Steve Jobs announced Mac OS X as the operating system for the next 20 years. So they kept the version for 20 years and well… in 2020 they started to make the yearly updates be major version number updates again (instead of minor version numbers).

Also @dizzy@lemmy.ml

There are plenty of good arguments in all the comments reacting to the comment and factually arguing why it’s just wrong. And I don’t even care about their political orientation (as if their blatant homophobic hadn’t given it away), but it doesn’t change whether the statement is right or wrong.
My point was just that your comment was essentially a shield against any disagreeing arguments (that you could say “I told you so” and not need to actually engage with the arguments) but didn’t even provide any arguments on its own.

Lmao. 10% are queer, get over it. Scientific evidence shows that gay animals exist in most species; for trans people look at other comments, it’s not worth my time typing that again.
The only one making dumb noises here is you (even literally: Just look at your sentences and your aggression, looks like you missed out on evolution).

What a neat way to directly delegitimize any different opinion, and that even without providing any arguments whatsoever.

From which country are you? What far left would there be on the US? The Democrats are ranging from center left to right-wing, from an EU view.
Saying both sides when there is one side prohibiting books about LGBTQ people, wanting to not allow trans people existing and trying to turn over democracy and the other one… wanting health care, is just utter bullshit.
