It's good when specific content goes viral across platforms. I've seen many good tiktoks but I never want to have the app installed or scroll through it, subject to their algorithm.

It just won't be good when some high quality small or mid sized community absorbs everything posted to Threads or Tiktok, for example. That's when it loses its identity.

I’m not talking about the kind of cross-platforming viral content you’re describing. What I’ve noticed usually ends up happening is that platforms just end up becoming mutually-perpetuating surveillance machines. e.g. “You’ll never believe what these LIBTARDS on Reddit said,” “I can’t BELIEVE what $tech_ceo said about $issue on Twitter,” and that’s where the problem lies. You used to get specific kinds of content from specific platforms, whereas now if you go on reels you’re as likely to come across a subway surfers AskReddit video or a Twitter screenshot set to music as you are an actual video.

Not ideal, I agree, but still not as bad as every site wholesale becoming the superset of multiple sites.
