Remember when we were worried that TikTok was going to be used by the CCP to spread Chinese government propaganda?
Good news! It’s STILL going to be used to spread propaganda, it just belongs to another group of billionaire dingbats, now.
Can we just all riot now? I just need a riot buddy?
Back in the day this just meant that people would mobilize and flood the platform with pro Palestinian content just to troll.
nobody would know if it’s all supressed
That’s why quantity is important online. They can’t suppress it all.
It just surprises me that people put more effort trying to get AI to quote Hitler than they do trying to fight for something like this.
Why is there this asymmetry of effort between the political factions.
They already did.
A few years ago, Osama Bin Laden’s open letter to the American people was being shared and people had their posts deleted.
It was being shared because the first reason he lists for attacking on 9/11 was America’s support for Israel.
He won. Every person employed by the TSA and every shoe removed is a posthumous W for crippling America
Oh no! Genocidal maniacs have taken control over TikTok… again!
Isn’t that the case with all major social media platforms?
Aside from the fediverse one would hope
sigh one would, wouldn’t they?
Anti-<topic> Billionaires Have Always Been Able to Control What People in General See.
The difference now is Chinese Billionaires were Anti <Israel> and the new American Billionaires are Anti <Palestine>
Which chinese billionaires are anti israel?

The Chinese state is souring against Israel, likely the operators of the app were also against Israel considering how they allowed anti-zionist content on the platform.
The ones that used to own tik tok
Seems like that was always the end goal. Imperialist global power built on colonialism continues to push forward neocolonialism, more at 11.
From the river to the sea.
Palestine will be free
free palestine from hamas
American unironically screaming “You voted for this!” at a children’s mass grave.
nice propaganda, very picturesque.
Free the fediverse from zionist pro genocide and settler colonialism people like you.
oh look, censorship, an authoritarian classic. not sure if you’re like that because stalinist, islamist or both, though.
Maybe you should learn the meaning of words before you start using them. Somebody responding to what you say isn’t censorship. Not even close.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.
Israel love islamist and authoritarian countries like saudi arabia and stalinist like Putin.
Putin is a true friend of Israel - Ariel Sharon in 2001
Israel is, in fact, a special state to us. It is practically a Russian-speaking country. Israel is one of the few foreign countries that can be called Russian-speaking. It’s apparent that more than half of the population speaks - Putin in 2010
In August, Russia began increasing fruit imports from Israel, after banning food imports from the EU, Norway, United States, Canada and Australia
In Ocobre 2015 , Israel and Russia held meetings to coordinate over Syria, and avoid accidentally clashing or scrambling each other’s communications while operating over the country.
In March 2016, Putin said the relations with Israel were special and based “on friendship, mutual understanding and the long common history Russia and Israel have developed a special relationship. 1.5 million Israeli citizens come from the former Soviet Union, they speak the Russian language, are the bearers of Russian culture, Russian mentality. They maintain relations with their relatives and friends in Russia, and this make the interstate relations very special”
You really love israel an extremist jewish state that don’t represent jews and even killed jews before
and stalinist like Putin
lolwut?
Israel will be free
Abolish Israel. End the settler state.
Free to massacre children?
Why not both?
Ditch TrumpTok
dont you mean pro-zionist/ possibly antisemtic billionaires. antisemitism gives legitmacy to BIBIs regime.
I call them pro settler colonialism and pro genocide in Gaza
RedNote is a good alternative.
So the solution to algorithm being dictated by billionaires or governments with little to no transparency is to move to another one?
Maybe its better to stay by the sidelines instead of constantly rushing to join the next new social media. Perhaps its better to view them more from a position of an observer than a participant when it comes to the meta, tiktok, twitter type social media run by big centralized money or governments backing them.
Westerners would rather drown in capitalist propaganda than listen to anything a diabolical Chinese national might have to say.
Tankies would rather push a Chinese state controlled app over a Fediverse replacement ran by real people.
And you would rather push s usa state controlled app . You are not that different from tankis
The US does not control the Fediverse.
Promote Loops not state run garbage.
I get what you mean, but the fediverse will likely never overcome state powers and reach. They have so much money, talent, and infrastructure to push propaganda.
The reality is people will have to use US tech and socials to expose Chinese/Russian/North Korean/Iranian atrocities and vice versa Unfortunately that’s currently the only way to gain any real ground.
You can already see how western allied social media and mainstream news tried to hide Israel’s genocide under the rug. And you’ll see how Chinese tech companies try to hide their Uyghur genocide and such.
They’re only amplified because they’re pushed by companies of geopolitical rivals.
Excited for the next edition of liberal pogroms against people using the wrong kind of social media.
How’d that work out for your boy Biden, again?
Why do you want to promote state owned and not citizen owned social media?
Do you need a big strong government to come tell you what you’re allowed to think?
You seem confused
is rednote an actual alternative for non-chinese?
No, it’s not even like Tiktok at all. The vast majority of the content is in Mandarin and if you aren’t Chinese your not going to know the asinine culture rules and get banned for something you thought was silly, but they take very seriously.
I haven’t been banned yet, but then again I save all my shitposts for the fediverse and stick to book reviews on RedNote.
Same, but it’s just because I don’t comment or post as I don’t speak Mandarin, so the majority of the people wouldn’t even know what I am saying. What’s the point you know?
I have found a bunch of really cool recipes, man they love their eggs…
Some people provide translated subtitles and the app does have a built in translator function. I found it’s enough to converse, but definitely niche.
for non-chinese
or for Chinese that don’t want to be censored?
Most platforms have some kind of moderation. But I’m sure a Chinese platform will be quite selective about a particular set of topics and themes.
What’s the fediverse alternative?
@youare_acooldude @Mrkawfee Loops
Ahh, thanks!
Loops?
Great, another app that nobody will use. Sadly users prefer convenience and popularity over things like decentralization or software freedom.
