  • I sometimes enjoy pestering people who make asses of themselves in comment threads. You definitely qualify with how many comments you’ve made in this thread attacking people for having the audacity to say they don’t like CSS. I was serious that I think you should take a break from arguing on the internet. For your own good. (And ours.)

    You took my lighthearted joke about an intentionally awkward language and threw it in my face, saying that I must be bad at design, etc.

    “If you dont like CSS, you’re just bad.”

    I don’t know why anyone would ever choose to be a programming language apologist. If people have criticisms of a language, good, they’re probably valid. You don’t need to apologize for the language and brush their criticisms under the rug. It just makes you look like a jerk.

    Good point. So TikTok only adds that junk when you download a video? I don’t use the app, so I didn’t know for sure, but it makes sense.

    Besides, every video site lets you download their videos if you’re clever enough, and it’s a very low bar. Just use yt-dlp.

    So there. That’s what I’m expecting from you. Download any TikTok video you want to share using that program so it doesn’t have the annoying tags and ad built into it. Or don’t. I really don’t care.

    I was only answering your questions. I’m not the original commenter, and I would never have posted an original comment saying anything like that. But as a person clicking links on social media, I do find Tik Tok videos are annoying. Plus it bothered me that you were equating criticism of Tik Tok with criticism of the woman who made the video. It seems (to me!) like you were saying that to make the original commenter feel bad about their comment. And that made me feel bad. It wasn’t a fair thing to say. So that’s why I spoke up at all.

    JOIN TIKTOK. THIS USER IS ON TIK TOK. GET ON THE PILE. JOIN THE BLOB!

    This is what I hear every time I watch a Tik Tok video. Lemmy is the only social media I use because the rest is all brain rot or worse. Hell, so is Lemmy half the time.

    Ummmm… That Tik Tok take out the giant logo and annoying sound from every video? What else would I be suggesting? What a silly question.

    Is it not enough that the video is covered by a logo the entire time it plays? There isn’t a single other video platform that adds a logo and sound like that. Just Tik Tok. It’s a horrible precedent that I hope more companies do not follow.
