It's not claiming to be TikTok, that would be a clear trademark infringement. It's just saying it's similar to their service, and if you want to compare it (which is allowed), you have to refer to it somehow. Similar to when people say LibreOffice is an MS office alternative - Microsoft wouldn't have the grounds to sue there, either. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] napkin2020@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) You anal? what a weird way to start a comment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago In case you're serious (or for anyone else who may not know), it means "I am not a lawer" permalink fedilink source parent [–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) Make a PR to replace it with "Shortform" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] underline960@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago I don't mind "TikTok-like".
