I see

Certain people joined Lemmy just as a better alternative to Reddit, but it seems like they’re just leaving one toxic social media for the sake of another. Well at least there are no hierarchies (not talking about .ml rn), billionaire ceos, and algorithm, which is the most important, so i guess the toxicity problem is up for us the users to solve, even if such people will always exist

Oh, I see, i didn’t get it at first. If you’re not into recent trends it doesn’t make you elderly or sth, i had the same feeling even if i’m a teen, about various stuff, so whatever. Memes and trends nowadays don’t last more than a week (tho it seems that floptok is still going but it’s an exception)

I deleted my tiktok account, and I feel pretty much the same, I have no idea about recent trends or whatever, but I liked floptok and didn’t want to give it up just by deleting tiktok, there are still floptok communities on non-fediverse social media, but it would be cool if they existed on fediverse too. It’s also been quite long since it’s appearance and it still hasn’t died as a meme, i suppose.

lol what 😭

Can someone explain to me why the OP got downvoted to oblivion?

I tried to explain it in my reply to Varyk’s comment

These are various memes which eventually became sth like a subculture, mainly on tiktok. It encompasses for example Cupcakke remixes, jiafei and many other stuff. It’s also connected to expressive language, words like “slay”, “ate”, purple heart core (💜), and usage of sparkles (✨) and painted nails (💅) emojis. Flops oppose the so-called “Daboyz” which encompasses modern culture of young manosphere, fascist teens, geotubers, and gen alpha. The traits of Daboyz is the usage of incel slang like “alpha/sigma” and gen alpha slang like “skibidi ohio gyatt”, as well as characteristic emojis (💀, ☕). This, this and this video can be helpful to get it.

It’s very likely, tho honestly even if he had an iq of 300 i wouldn’t care if things he says will remain bullshit.
