- tw04 5y agoNot really. Facebook gets far, far more attention and negative attention around here than tiktoK.
- esturk 5y agoThe difference is that most people on here have used Facebook (wrote and read something) while I'm pretty certain most people here have not created a video on Tiktok.
- read_if_gay_ 5y agoYou don't have to be a creator to count as a user.
- selfhoster11 5y agoI'd wager that's mostly because Facebook already had a decade before Tiktok to work its network effect magic, and nobody wants to subscribe to yet another social network that is Tiktok.
- puranjay 5y agoI was pretty sad when they banned it here in India. TikTok had become really popular among poorer people somehow. The income and class gaps in India mean that you don’t often get to know how the rural poor really live - TikTok was rare a window into that life. Helped me understand and empathize deeply. The new replacements for it just don’t have the same vibe.
