Flic @mstdn.social Just another Twitter migrant. Enjoying it here! Mostly a reader not a poster. I live near Cambridge (the UK one not the Boston one), I like active transport and I read books to pay the bills.
@overload I mean it's only really a workaround if you really like watching Dinosaur Train...
@overload @return2ozma we periodically sign up for it when my kids remember something on there they like watching. The children's accounts don't show ads.
@a1studmuffin @ceenote the only reason these massive Web 2.0 platforms achieved such dominance is because they got huge before governments understood what was happening and then claimed they were too big to follow basic publishing law or properly vet content/posters. So those laws were changed to give them their own special carve-outs. We're not mentally equipped for social networks this huge.
@queermunist @atrielienz there is also a contingent calling it all out and either leaving or moving to a non-US account if they can. The problem is the algorithm/platform is a pretty strong siloing mechanism. https://www.tiktok.com/@oliviacarneyx/video/7461706669509201198
