What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.

If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.

Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Rules

1. English only

Title and associated content has to be in English.

2. Use original link

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

3. Respectful communication

All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.

4. Inclusivity

Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

5. Ad hominem attacks

Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

6. Off-topic tangents

Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

7. Instance rules may apply

If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

Youtube shorts - aka the Tiktokization of Youtube.

I can't stand the format. Luckily, they can be filtered out in third party players.

I mean. Let's be real here Vine did it before Tik Tok was even a sperm in Bytedance's ballsac. And it's not like YouTube didn't start out with short form videos. It's just that they didn't make it a separate video feed until 2020.

I can certainly understand not liking shorts (I often don't have that kind of attention/need something more substantial than a 60 second clip). And yeah. Hatred for YouTube. I hear you. I get that too. But like this isn't a new phenomenon.

Loops is a Fediverse equivalent.

It is not a medium that interests me, I have found the content on Loops to be mediocre.

That said, I have found the content on TikTok to also be mediocre and YouTube clips are just jailbait clickbait.

Yes, I know it is algorithm generated, but I am pretty sure everyone is just getting jailbait clickbait.

Most of what I watch on YouTube are science videos, history videos, and cooking videos. I don't get the "jailbait click bait" and I have never gotten that. My biggest problem with YouTube besides their ad BS is the random right wing propaganda videos that creep in.

I don't watch a lot of shorts but if I happen to see one it's most definitely not "jailbait".

I have seen title cards change on unwatched videos from something that is innocuous and directly related to the content to something with a scantily clad female, tangentially related to the video who is much younger than me.

While not technically Jailbait, the title cards are sexualised.

I mainly watch renovation, restoration, cinema, off-roading, engineering and fabrication.

The majority of this content is male-dominated and I do appreciate when videos aren’t bursting with aggressive machismo. I think the algorithm has determined that when I watch a video with a female host it is because it thinks I am being pervy.
