    As an avid user of both TT and Reddit (now lemmy obv), I can say the content and perspectives between the two have some parallels (both lean left) but also some very stark differences (TT leans younger and has a more early internet style chaotic energy).

    I’m not saying the security concerns aren’t warranted. But the idea that so many people on here are so onboard with sacrificing a platform because they don’t get it is kinda disheartening. Especially given how concentrated social media is getting under the Meta umbrella.

    I feel like many people on here still view the platform as the app where people dance to music, which isn’t representative of what the app is at the moment.

      This can vary greatly. As a Canadian, I get served a bunch of conservative content on a fresh TikTok account.
