Hmm, odd, I have a seen a report about how 'News on TikTok ' is downgraded and hard to find. ๐Ÿค”

Strange how most of these ' #FreeWebHosting companies' are losing on the #News front except for a few... Fits with the moderation models or lack there of in a lot of cases though.

@w7voa
Good news ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ
@w7voa
Not sure everyone means the same thing by "news."
@w7voa News, aka imagined and real events passed through a filter of beliefs, prejudices, and opinion.

@w7voa

Itโ€™s far more reliable, although TikTok also is a shithole where โ€œfrauditorsโ€ and tons of assorted scam artists post and misinformation is abundant.

@w7voa these... these arenโ€™t news sources... do they not know this??
@w7voa news? my tiktok just shows me busty women... ๐Ÿค“
@w7voa ....no one, of course will care.....but in the very near future, reluctantly, I am going to stop following some really good people who remain on twitter and I follow their bird.makeup Mastodon account. I'll miss some stuff, sure.....but if they want to stay there, they can....I'll follow those who've gotten off that horror show.
@w7voa Don't know if it's exactly a good news, but at least Twitter is losing relevance
