#socialisation while others are hostile to their users. Facebook and reddit are close behind

Anyway I know what zepotha is now and I think the main takeaway from zepotha vs goncharov comparisons should be that tiktok is an inherently pvp type of social media where the aim is to be the most seen and most popular and content is created through trends that people will actively call that and follow in an attempt to gain popularity. And while there are posting trends on tumblr it’s not enforced and just natural changes that come about when a type of joke becomes popular. This isn’t a good environment for a project like this because a community can’t create if no one is listening and just trying to one up each other. Tumblr however is collaborative and gives space to see someone’s idea and then share that idea further with the addition of you own along with the fact that an algorithm will only show you the most popular things or what it wants you to see meanwhile on tumblr you can choose to actively join conversations and communities and you are in control. It’s not that they’re copying goncharov or even that it was marketing that’s stopping it from being good, it’s just the way tiktok is built doesn’t allow for group interaction, you can only talk at each other and not to each other which is what’s required for a successful collaborative project

#anyway tiktok culture is how it is because the app is designed to not be a community #but a place where people compete to see who can scream the loudest #and that’s the same as Twitter and Instagram too #it’s why despite all tumblrs faults I do think it’s the best social media because it’s built to encourage #socialisation while others are hostile to their users. Facebook and reddit are close behind #because of their abilities to create communities #but you’re still screaming into a void there because you can’t share peoples additions as a whole post. you can only comment
