@ryanhoulihan on TikTok, I follow of historians, teachers, cats, naturalists and artists.
Oh, and a guy who will type your name in Morse code for free! Some people would charge 10 roses for that.
There are people who offer exam prep for different disciplines and all the news orgs are on there.

Generally, I think people's issue with TikTok isn't the content so much as the fact that the app itself is a massive privacy violation.

@ryanhoulihan It makes me so tired when I feel like I have to put that kind of "don't @ me" stuff to preempt the predictable replies (and sometimes people still @ me :P ). Do you feel tired? Is this just part of posting online?

@ryanhoulihan I just wonder how much extra data is being collected.

@ryanhoulihan Oh for sure, whenever I watch recommended tiktoks, they are really good. I just don't care much for signing up for it.

@ocdtrekkie @ryanhoulihan I feel like there's a world where someone would care that you didn't find something's funny, but I don't think we're in it right now. But thanks for sharing.

@replyguy @ryanhoulihan I feel like there's a world where this bit would be funny, but I don't think we're in it right now.

And now imagine a world where the people who provide the quality content to tiktok would provide this content not to tiktok, but to some other online service - for example peertube, or something similar. And you would not pay a subscription to tiktok - a capitalist company controlled by „people’s republic“ of china, but support peertube instances and creators.
(Disclosure: some of the videos, i created, are available at peertube and come with a support link.)

@ryanhoulihan @ocdtrekkie I didn't post anything to @ocdtrekkie They decided to post something in the expectation that it'd make me cry or something. It was a teachable moment.

@ryanhoulihan any good creators to recommend? If taken this as a sign to reinstall TikTok and I generally like your vibe.

@ryanhoulihan Clear answer: no data protection, no minor protection, data go to china’s government, lethal accidents w/ choking challenges, …
Just don’t use TikTok.

@ryanhoulihan How do you control your time on it?

@ryanhoulihan Oh my, I've just read the replies. I see similar when I try to talk about stuff like emergent intellectual commons on youth culture platforms (Minecraft, Roblox, TikTok, certain bits of YouTube) - there's this absolute urge some people have to dismiss the things people (especially younger people) are creating because of where they're sharing them.
Yes, I know $Platform isn't ideal and is exploitative because of $WellKnownReasons, but that's not actually the current point of discussion.

@Life_is @ryanhoulihan The CCP thing is what gets to me. They have ultimate control over bytedance and therefore Tiktok, and the way they have treated their own countrymen in the past and now gives me pause when thinking about allowing TikTok’s algorithm to shape my thoughts. Which sucks, because when people share TikTok links with me, it’s always a blast.

@ryanhoulihan a big reason I follow you mate is I'm certain you know lots of things I don't, even putting your life experiences aside. Please tell me to fuck right off if I ever reply guy, I'm from Glasgow and am well used to it :)

@jargoggles @ryanhoulihan I massively disagree. America is a country built almost exclusively on propaganda. The only difference i see between tiktok and say facebook (other than how the programs are run) is the ages of the people who use them.
Basically. Hate for tiktok is get off my grass. Or omg that music is satanic. When people get older who were in the in group but aren't anymore. Jealousy turns to spite. There are problems with it. But generally it's the off the grass thing.

@ryanhoulihan I don’t like either football or TikTok, but that’s a me thing. When I was younger I did build (part of) my identity around not liking “sportsball” or whatever. These days I like to think I have grown up a bit and am happy other people have a hobby that brings them joy.
All this newfound equanimity goes right out the window though if people watch football matches or TikToks beside me using their phone speakers on loud!

@ryanhoulihan
People talk about sports because they want to conform to society.
For those who don't know, here's Noam Chomsky on the role of sports in 'propaganda-based authority'.
That's how to talk about sports...

@ryanhoulihan it seems difficult for some people to just keep scrolling instead of starting an argument. I wonder where that need to comment on something they are not interested in comes from?

@ryanhoulihan just responding to a statement that came up in my feed, which is the very point.

@ryanhoulihan are you always like this?
