Love it, thanks for linking me! Will check out as soon as I’m out of work!
I don’t think Tik Tok is focused on teenagers. It has a very wide target audience, many adults used it for various information. I’ve heard of senior aged content creators being sad because their platform was a way to connect when they’re lonely and they’re not sure where to go now
I get your frustration though, I’m sure if you’ve been here awhile you’ve heard it millions of times. It does seem like they’re making progress, I’ve heard the new Pixelfed design is much better.
I am a designer and would love to be involved! Hell, helping the cause and having a great new portfolio piece is like a 2 for 1 special. I’m new here and just commenting on my observations. I’m going to be looking for avenues to get involved.
What’s more dangerous to me is the fact that the government is trying to restrict our sources of information. People are PISSED. And should they be setting fire to congressmen’s offices? Nah but there’s a reason people have fled to another Chinese app in protest.
The big issue is the user experience for the fediverse sucks. Tbh I still don’t understand the whole different servers thing lmao and the apps that have been developed are clearly designed by engineers without a designer input. So far Voyager has had the best UX and Mastodon’s is ok but the others haven’t been great. We gotta find a simple way to explain it to simple people and focus on creating mobile apps with good UX
