"If you’re a new creator and you’ve been trying to grow your #TikTok platform, don’t!"

And that's not only because it's about to be banned in the US. According to this article, they've been making changes lately to severely restrict content creators' ability to a) get videos approved, and b) get reach for their short-form videos. Apparently, they're tanking pretty bad.
Unfortunately, the article says that people are moving to Instagram Reels instead. Now, I dunno much about #PixelFed, because I've never been much of a "visual person" when it comes to social media, but wouldn't that be a better option? Do they do something like Reels? 🤔
(If you know, maybe go drop a comment on the article. The more people we can bring into the #Fediverse, the better!)
