Chris MessinaA new microblogging contender has entered the arena: @tiktok now lets you create text posts!
And they support hashtags out the gate! 😛

http.james@chrismessina Microblogging in the Tiktok style scrolling mechanic is so impractical
Mark Liederbach@chrismessina This makes my brain itch.
Hm… I’m skeptical@chrismessina It has an API doesn't it? So theoretically a client app could be made that only posts text entries via the api.

Dr.Implausible@chrismessina Honestly, I'm not sure who that's worse for: X-Twitter, Threads, or Tiktok itself.
There's already a significant chunk of the content that is "screenshots of tweets or Reddit posts", with or without a dude pointing at it or a split screen with stolen Minecraft video.
So I guess having it native in-app is okay.
But it really feels like a drift in focus from their core service.
Zach Weigand@chrismessina I love that it won’t let me make a text post without allowing camera access.
