Lemon8 needs to cut, it, out!
OK, so the real deal is Meta has completely switched over to AI moderation. And they banned me from all of their products because they said I was not behaving like a human. Unfortunately, I am autistic. I don't behave like the majority of humans that's accurate. So I looked for all of the options for a good alternative to Instagram and I thought well let's see if TikTok has something. Every post that I get notifications for on here are people that I don't follow and it's posts from 2025. What is the deal with the algorithm on here? Why the hell is no one following my scissoring account? It's almost like people don't use this app because there's no current posts. And then when I post on TikTok, the only likes I'm getting are from people I know in real life who are also all autistic and get my random fucking humor that is saying something without saying something. No, I don't drive a Subaru, I should be but instead I drive a moderately priced Japanese brand car that was made in Mexico last year.
So anyways, it would be really lovely if whoever is in charge of #algorithms could maybe get on updating them to current content and not just shit that has thousands of likes from over a year ago. Because I don't wanna see some ladies post about abuse that has 67,000 likes and 3,000 comments, I said I was on here for art and photography, and I'm not seeing any of that on here.
Maybe the geniuses at Oracle who now own TikTok can fix this because this app is not that great.
Navigating social media platforms can be both exciting and frustrating, especially when you're seeking genuine engagement and visibility for your creative content. As someone who has dealt with AI moderation systems, I understand the feeling of being misunderstood by automated processes. These systems often struggle to recognize diverse human behaviors, such as those exhibited by autistic individuals, which unfortunately can result in wrongful account restrictions or bans. This highlights a critical need for platforms like TikTok and Lemon8 to refine their AI moderation algorithms to be more inclusive and sensitive to neurodiversity. Furthermore, the issue of outdated content dominating feeds can severely impact user engagement. When users see posts that are years old or irrelevant to their interests, it discourages active participation and diminishes the appeal of the platform. For creators focused on art and photography, staying current and visible is essential to build a community and share their work with appreciative audiences. From my experience exploring alternatives to Instagram, TikTok’s algorithm sometimes pushes content that isn’t tailored or timely, making it hard to grow an authentic follower base. The only traction often comes from close friends who understand niche humor or unique expression styles. This experience is common among many creators, especially those in smaller or specialized communities. To improve, platforms could benefit from integrating more personalized, interest-based content delivery that prioritizes new and diverse creators. Also, improving the transparency of moderation decisions and providing better support for users who may not conform to typical behavior patterns could foster a more welcoming environment. In conclusion, while AI moderation and content algorithms serve important roles, they must evolve to better support the diverse user base they serve. Encouraging current, relevant, and inclusive content will not only enhance the user experience but also empower creators to share their art and stories freely.
