Honestly it's just rude to tell guests how to act. Yes ruder than them using their phones in a way you don't approve of.

> Honestly it's just rude to tell guests how to act Do you tell them not to break furniture, or swear in-front of children, or leave trash out? This is the person's home. I also have no issues with setting limits on guests. It means that my home is a safe place and everyone within it knows how to act. It also means everyone is welcome as long as they abide by the rules; no matter what their background is. or to put a…

Ridiculous comparisons to be honest - so lazy they don't deserve a response.

I'm not telling them how to act. Rather, I'm telling them what's preferred in my home. I don't like if people to smoke in my home, either. Or wear their shoes in my home. Someone could flatly refuse (some kids have), and I don't kick them out or anything. I don't appreciate it, but I'm not going to militantly enforce the rule.

To each their own I guess, but in my opinion one of these media forms has much more potential for deep quality. I have never seen a TikTok video that left a lasting impression on me, or I was compelled to rewatch years later. I would be shocked if anyone has…

Why would you rewatch a TikTok when there are so many new ones?

You wouldn't even if there weren't so many new ones, it's low quality, highly derivative content. Even if new TikTok videos were banned, no one would go back and watch the old ones as they have no lasting value.
