Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Seriously, I have a roommate who is ostensibly a nice guy, never says anything sexist/racist or whatever, and our living situation involves a Black/indigenous woman. But I hear him listening to TikToks all the time that are just the most vile misogynist or weirdly tradtional viewpoints ("women, if you make dinner but your husband don't like it, what do you do as a good wife?" etc). I feel like he's probably not even choosing these toks, they're just unavoidable.

My TikTok feed is full of communists, he's engaging with the content, and it's responding in kind.

They have to keep testing their users with potential new content they may start liking so that the app stays new and refreshing and people keep coming back

In a communist utopia, if you wanted to watch trashy social media garbage while you take the train home after a long day you should be forced to hunt for it in one big alphabetical directory that looks like mid-‘90s Yahoo. Recommendation algorithms are inherently reactionary and after the revolution they must be abolished.

Nah, just replace the current algorithms with ones that boost commies and suppress and ban reactionaries.

ban reactionaries but fuck algorithms

content is so homogenous at the moment

Your dissent has been recorded, and will be addressed after the revolution

Yeah I really feel like the app is kind of default shitty and then if you're a milquetoast white guy like him then the app just feeds you progressively more sexist right-wingy content because you're a white guy who doesn't critically engage with the content. It's like it only changes if you somehow signal you're non-white non-male
