I wonder if #blind and low-vision nerds like me are getting too comfortable in our nerdy social media bubble here on the fediverse. I blithely ignored tiktok from the beginning, and once a lot of us moved from Twitter to the fediverse en masse, I was proud to not be active on any of the corporate-owned social media platforms. But it now seems to me that we're missing out on some important discourse, particularly from other marginalized communities, by staying in our bubble.

in reply to aaron • • •@fireborn TBH I was against both Youtube (the content discovery part of it) and TikTok for a long time, but those services learn what kind of videos are accessible to you suprisingly quickly.
On TikTok, it took me about 30 minutes of scrolling through God only knows what, and then it stopped showing me videos that weren't basically just some people talking.

in reply to Zvonimir Stanecic • • •@asael @Tamasg One major issue I read about often is, that people ask for certain moderation tools, or other features and then others "explain-bro" them on why it's a bad idea.
Though from a more technical pov, there are a lot of tech folks who say "decentralized is the best" and then entirely ignore how that's just making moderation a painful process (which is true, but often denied).
Another concern is, that it's too easy to create an account on the wrong server full of shitty people.
