TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.

The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.

Meanwhile https://joinloops.org/ and https://joinpeertube.org/ keep getting better and better

Hopefully more creators will take notice and at least crosspost their content on better platforms too.

Now you can see 30 of the same reposted tiktok spam blasting low quality live music instead of 10!

Oh well I guess it doesn't matter anyway because if you try to update the app anyway it just downloads an invalid APK lol

What browser are you using? It works fine for me on Android Firefox. Even with JavaScript disabled.

I think it might be because you are using an embedded browser window in whatever lemmy app you are using. When I go in through firefox mobile it looks fine.

False alarm!
