I for one am a young person, but my peers are too tiktok obsessed. While I use an VPN 24/7 I liek that the fediverse is not banned at school Still use VPN tho

@Bicyclejohn
> my peers are too tiktok obsessed

What is it that attracts them to TikTok? The features and user experience, or the pool of people and content they can find there? Or something else?

Algorithm and peer pressure. I'm among one of the only damn kids in my school who never used that shit

@Bicyclejohn @strypey I hear it's addictive once you start using it.

I never started using it.

Glad to hear. I don't use most major social media. Separates me a lot from my peers
