This app could potentially supplant Tik Tok overtime. As Tik Tok's censorship following it's acquisition by US investors such as Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX, and UpScrolled already having questionable ethics, this may be the path forward.

I guess we should get rid of sweet foods as well, as people can get addicted to that and it can lead to obesity.

The major difference is that there's significant science backing up the claims that excessive sugar is unhealthy.

There's no such science about "social media".

Treat them like nicotine?

Upscrolled could have been the one but 90% of the content is not English, which makes sense given who is creating it, but the real problem is that most of the English content I came across there either wasn't remotely interesting to me or was straight up nazi racist stuff.

Well this app looks like total shit.

First, the website title, it blends in with the background. What the fuck were they doing? Second, I doubt this will resonate well with TikTok's audience. They want brainrot and slop curated for them. TikTok has an endless ocean of content, while we have a lake of content. I think that's fine for Lemmy, but not for a TikTok clone. I think TikTok users will join this, scroll for a while, get bored, and go back.

Also to be fair, the site looks better now
