If I had a nickel for every time I reported a pervy corporation to the ACCC, I’d have two nickels– which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

I have a theory that when people go to church, they go for the intention to change their privacy settings, and the priest just reads out each setting and people do the cross to agree with each setting.

I have gotten no evidence of the contrary so it must be true! /s

They wouldn’t need ads if they took a cut from all the porn and crypto ad bots littering the comment sections

I can’t get over the fact tons of us used to think Ferrero Rochers were some delicacy for millionaires, but in reality can just be bought for under $10 at the average supermarket

Although it might not seem like it, not all users of tiktok are the doom scroller brain-dead stereotype you believe. Tiktok has helped many small businesses get off their feet, allowed people and groups to get donations they may need, and has facilitated education about topics from news to interesting facts to scientific phenomenon and beyond.

Granted, it does have its negatives, like brain rot content and the hyperfocused algorithm, but it has it’s pretty amazing aspects as well.

The long way

I believe Pixelfed Loops is the only one currently, it’s actually not half bad, apart from how barebones and stuttery the app is, which isn’t a big deal since the issues are only occasional.

I had a dream a while back which I was recording an old CRT TV that was way too high to comfortably view and a friend of mine somehow grabbing a bag of what I’d presume was fairy floss from inside an empty cabinet. The phone worked pretty much the same as it does irl, and one of my teachers walked by and I got scared and hid my phone behind my jacket in fear of it getting confiscated, probably the most interesting one I’ve had in a while.

I fully agree with that, and I was wrong in assuming that it’d be very simple. In my country, we only got online piracy firewalled, so I don’t have experience with apps or other kinds of websites getting banned, and somehow I assumed that most of the demographics of a service would try and use it a different way just like how we use VPNs to hop on the pirate bays, but that isn’t the case.

Honestly, true. I must be underestimating how tired I am and overestimating how much brain power I got left because, I must say, I barely had a single thought when typing that.

Oh right, I somehow didn’t think they’d remove the app at first, I thought they’d just firewall it or smthn. The monitisation part also makes a lot of sense too. Honestly I don’t have even the smallest experience with witnessing anything online get banned in my country apart from piracy.

Have people somehow forgotten that VPNs exist? Like millions are moving to rednote but the easier way is to literally just, at minimum, get a shitty free VPN, and still have access to tiktok.

Personally tho, I’d probably opt for a cloud server VPN if I really needed one.

Edit: this was a stupid take, I forgot the app would be removed from devices and that it will cause inconvenience.

I’ve never found a more intelligent loaf of bread
