How would you feel about it?

Let’s pretend lemmy just got a sick ass video hosting feature for this example.

    I’d probably jump ship. The dynamic that exists on TikTok is not something I have any interest in participating in. And that’s entirely putting aside the massive user privacy issues.

    My first thought would be “why can’t I load Lemmy” as they DDOSed the site

    Shy of that, “good for them.” Glad they wouldn’t choose anything worse 😉

    Everyone seems scared but I would be happy that such a FOSS designed project would finally be used in mass scale.

    Sure content would not be the same, but the structure of lemmy would probably encourage more discussion and problem solving rather than hate induced comments or crazy mob-like behaviour.

    When I talk about structure, I talk about some feature like having a downvote, not so much advertisement, the fediverse, no(or just not so much) incentive to make money from the platform, text based posts, custom front ends, etc…

    I’d just hope they all join a tiktok-specific instance so it’s easy enough to filter out. But it would be nice to see a larger adoption of the fediverse (although I feel like overnight growth of that scale might rock the boat too much, it would be far more preferable to have a more gradual adoption).

    Huh, Lemmy got video now? Interesting. Well, block that user, subscribe to this new video based community, also block this user within the community. Oh hey, this person I recognize from YouTube Shorts is here, too.

    I think there would be a lot of sorting to do
