Listen, I’m all for open sourcing stuff and I’m all for the fediverse and all. I just don’t understand why one would want a fediverse tiktok.
Short form content is addictive af and doesn’t add anything of substance to society.
Video hosting is expensive. Peertube is already struggling. How do you expect to financially sustain video hosting that is addictive to the user (which means more consumption) without running ads? Paywalling it won’t be an option due to the network effect as well.
I have hundreds of short form videos which are designed to uplift, encourage, and speak positively about mental health issues. I’ve had lots of people tell me that my videos in some small way encourage them to take the next step in their mental health.
In other words, it’s not the form of the video that matters, it’s the content.
As for the cost of the server, I think the videos will expire after a certain amount of time. Something like Snapchat.
The great thing about the Fediverse is that it offers options. Is this going to be exactly like TikTok? Of course not. Will it serve a purpose for some? Time will tell.
So tiktok for the fediverse…

Tiktok and the sludge of normal social media is the prime suspect here, not types of freaking videos.
As for hosting, that’s gonna have to be built/devised long-term. Nothing to do but get to it!
