Good riddance, vertical videos are cancer, short form obliterates attention spans, and their algorithm is engineered specifically to addict people, especially kids.
Now to ban all the rest of them. Let's start with Facebook. Twitter is already killing itself but could stand to be "helped" off the cliff.
These bans are bad. All it takes is for the US to think the fediverse is a threat and this goes too. You clearly don't like the platform and that's okay, but don't root for government censorship on the internet.
Yeah, I'm all for Australia style banning to kids, however that gets implemented, but this is slippery slope and all that. But hey, maybe not, maybe it's the only time they do it.
Wouldn't that be nice, if the powers that be didn't grab for more power lol
