Headline should say coming TO the Fediverse.

"It's coming for you!" has a more aggressive meaning.

Granted, TicTok is worse than cancer so technically speaking this is of course a "good" step. But I have such a distaste (or rather hatred) for this type of content (same with Shorts), that I still cannot feel good about it.
