Didn’t know where to share this.
I don’t use tiktok. But every other young person I know does.
And now that it owned by a pro-trump company… It’s about to get real difficult.
Reminder that Democrats including Murphy were pushing to ban TikTok under Biden to censor pro-Palestinian speech. I believe he’s come around on it now that he realizes censorship cuts both ways.
Regardless of how you feel about TikTok (I fucking hate it) any ban or restriction on the internet should be opposed because it’s inevitably used as a tool for censorship.
Saw the writing on the wall when president elect Fascist 47 “helped” unban TikTok last January. Jumped ship and never looked back.
I’ve never used TikTok, and I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be seeing in that screenshot. Can someone explain it to me?
I have no idea what message they’re trying to get across.
Are they saying that tiktok censoring anti-ice stuff is worse than people being murdered by ice?
I imagine they are saying that this is a bad thing in general. Not worse than ICE committing murders.
Ignoring the top level comment, it looks like the original screenshot is cut off but says “ineligable for…” On the thumbnails that look like protest content.
My guess is that OP is pointing out that their protest information is not as visible as their shitposting is.
Why did you think Larry Ellison and his large adult son wanted it so badly?
Holy shit I can have Instagram back without perhaps the algorithm driven anxiety and rage? I had to stop using insta not even out of any leftist purism or ideology bs, it was literally causing me so much grief every single time I opened the app. I probably could have reset my account algo but I just decided enough was enough. I remember now it was during the Charlie Squirt Memorial Fountain reveal aftermath.
You can! There are two choices — Pixelfed is more focusing posting casual pics of your life, or vernissage which is more for pro photographers who want to show off their work. Tell your friends!
TikTok is on the same path as the rest following the fascist money, YouTube & major US news propaganda has played ads like pragerU selling Orbán’s dictatorship, ads funded by Zionists selling the Palestinian genocide as a psy-op by Hamas, ICE recruitment, etc and won’t show shooting footage like they used to do with a warning, now they do a disservice to everyone by censoring how violent reality can be.
Really wish my favorite creators would move to rednote. Just post in both places, I don’t get the hurdle.
Hi, random human here. I can explain the hurdle.
Basically it comes down to this: I have no idea what rednote is. Never heard of it. I assume it’s like how Lemmy is to Reddit. People know what Reddit is. Nobody knows what Lemmy is.
Now walk out of your house, and ask 100 people “What is tiktok?” And then ask those same people “What is rednote?”
Totally uneducated guess on my part, but I would say 100 out of 100 people know what tiktok is. I would also guess 5 out of 100 would know what rednote is.
That’s the hurdle. Same reason Loops isn’t being used either. People know what one thing is. They don’t know what the other thing is. Regardless of if the features are better, people will always go where the other people are.
