Edit: I’m going to add to this comment because, as some have pointed out, it does come across as elitist or “Reddit-like” aka fart in an elevator and get off on the next floor.
I personally do not use TikTok, which doesn’t stop me from enjoying the occasional content people repost here.
I do hope that one day my original comment can be used unironically.
You’ll need to venture out of the microsocopic Lemmy echo chamber to find them.
My mom, like 90% of people, is very tech illiterate. She spends hours mindlessly scrolling through Tik Tok with her phone speaker on max. Lemmy users are basically the complete opposite.
For me it’s because this smug attitude of “people still use it” is ignorant to reality and that ignorance has serious consequences if you’re politically minded.
Where ever there is popular social media site, there are accounts on the left that are trying to convince everyone to abandon the most popular sites.
At the same time there are people on the left who are frustrated with how the whole world appears to love Trump and his right wing messaging.
Some accounts promote this thinking where they convince people on the left to abandon these town squares which only gives room to right wing voices while the people that left the town square complain how their opinions are not magically shared by others.
So when I see people say something promoting this idea that the left is too good to bother, then i downvote because I hate that opinion. It has fucked us so hard.
People still use this?

As he pressed enter, a smirk appeared on his face, as he typed the most Reddit-comment he could think of
Literally everybody. Why be so smug about it.
Luterally or tge literally dumb people use? Because only ine of them is right.
The irony of calling people dumb while typing like drunk is crazy.

My dad does the same but with facebook. Often looping the same shit with shittier laugh tracks. Pretty annoying.
Unfortunately there are many
Right? I don’t know why people are down-voting you on Lemmy, of all places.
