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.

for the one peertube server i wanted to follow something on, i couldnt figure out how to point the peertube ios app to an arbitrary peertube server. seems not in the fediverse spirit

The web instances work pretty well, that's a shame the iOS app didn't work for you. I'm only a consumer not a producer of video content so I interact with a fedi microblogging platform instead of having an account on a peertube platform itself. The Android app seemed okay but following users with RSS and interacting via my microblogging account, as well as directly checking my favorite platforms' sites occasionally for serendipity seems to work the best for me.

I'm sure with the fundraising blitz the apps will get better too this year.

...We can't keep doing this, guys

fingers to temples

The fucking top is formatted right, then this lmao. We look like ass at first impression. I'm on a Oneplus 11. Is this fringe hardware?

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.

Ah ha! Yes, this was voyager's fault.

False alarm!

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

but that looks like an embedded firefox, in custom tabs mode. I think it's common for apps to open links in your default browser that way.

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

that being said, it works correctly here with and without javascript, in firefox, opened from voyager, so I don't get it

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

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
