Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I don't understand tiktok. Last trend i heard about was people cheating banks to get free money (aka fraud) and now they're doing inhalants as a trend? How many brain cells does the average tik toker have?
Yes i know my age is showing. Get off my lawn!
No we are just going back 20 years for fashion trends, make everything chrome. Spray chrome can be inhaled is whats happening
Media is only going to highlight and even sometimes propagate the truly horrible trends.
Remember the "Milk Crate Challenge" which resulted in horrific accidents?
Idk man, at some point it's just Darwinism.
I think the running conspiracy is that the platform is a psyop to get idiots to try doing idiotic things they wouldn't otherwise get exposed to.
From what I've heard, the Chinese version of the app's recommendations algorithm leans towards educational content instead of topics literally trying to tear at the seams of modern society.
before tiktok we had to rely on our friends sketchy older brother to tell us new ways to get high.
Same as it ever was.
TikTok is an app that's not completely controlled by YTs. So we should expect to see a bunch of sensational headlines demonizing the company until it gets banned.
