      The only politics I learned on Tiktok was left leaning capitalism and basic socialist ideas.

      If that’s radical then Lemmy is worse.

        It highly depends on what the algorithm serves you. You might be insulated from the worst of it, especially if your opinions are cemented and you have some informational savvy. It’s a different story for kids and those who lack critical thinking skills

            Incredible right wing MAGA Russia brainwashing diatribe. Honestly. You watch one video and the algorithm has you. All I get is fake news pressed as fact and the comment sections are atrocious. Oh and flat earth videos. I wish I could get some left wing stuff, it would make me a lot happier. I can see how people would fall in to a pit of despair and believe everything they see on TikTok.

            I’ve heard “kids these days” don’t even google stuff any more, just search it on TikTok and have something explain it to them, wether it’s true or false.

            Go on…

            What are you scared of?

            Why would you assume I didn’t understand the idea of an anonymous account?
