Kidding. I did see some absolutely incredible ways of teaching and learning math that made me utterly furious at the American education system. We teach academic subjects in the absolutely dumbest way possible. I learned that on Tiktok.

I understand many people here probably do their best to get away from algorithmically served content but it's what TikTok does best imo.

There's plenty of IT/tech content on there, it just takes liking a few videos about a topic beforeyour feed adjusts. I havent seen "people twerking in the street" or "kid drinks coke with mentos" videos since basically the first time I opened the app.

But never actually used loops, or even peertube, because lack of content.

It's easier for content to be generated by fewer users in lemmy or mastodon.

It's not the format or the platform that turns me away, it's the content. I don't care about people twerking in the street or "kid drinks coke with mentos."
