[+] soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz -10 points 2 years ago (2 children) You do know kids can find out grandma is on tiktok other ways than just the site itself? Touch grass, remember there's a world outside permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] tryptaminev@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago But would anybody be bothered by it, if there's no interaction there? Boomers destroyed Facebook for younger audiences, as all of a sudden parents would join in on conversations with your friends in the comments under a photo. You would link an article about a political issue and your reactionary uncle would proceed to call everyone who reads it a damn commy that needs to go to the army to learn some real life. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Nurgle@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago lol. I can’t tell if you just don’t know any young people or if it’s that you don’t know the difference between a social network and a short term video app. (Or you’re just mad cause tiktok = bad.) permalink fedilink source parent
