Comment on India Banned TikTok, It Didn’t Go Well
Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months agoI call Facebook/Instagram/TikTok/LinkedIn and all that garbage “parasocial media” to separate it from forums and stuff. They are just grotesque places of self-representation, or rather conjuring up an image of oneself that soothes cognitive dissonance. A dreamworld with little social aspects other than that you may browse others’ fake self-image and feel-good escapism escapades.
