May? Trump said he’s giving his son the CEO job.
its not a tiktok sale and i dont understand why media keeps repeating this. they’re licensing the algorithm to a new spun off us company silo’ed from the rest of the world.
also tiktok has been garbage slop forever anyway.
This was the plan all along. It became enormously influential, so Trump is forcing China to sell it to MAGA and become ANOTHER mouthpiece for the Conservative Propaganda Machine. They did it to Twitter, they did it to Reddit, and now they’re going to do it to TikTok.
what happened to reddit - who bought it ?
After the Inauguration, Musk visited Spez on February, and they permabanned thousands, perhaps millions of their most active users. I had a 12 year account, nearly a million Karma, and I was permabanned for repeating an opinion that I had posted numerous times without a word from any mod. Trump gets inaugurated, and suddenly it’s enough to get me permabanned.
And there were lots of others. The purge gutted Reddit, and left it filled with nothing but bots and trolls.
It’s incredibly annoying how sensitive Reddit is. You can get banned for the smallest things and even without evidence. I get wanting to foster community and communication but they will stagnate much more wrinkly than other social media apps with their current policies. I don’t see how they’ll keep growing and satisfy shareholders with their banning happy way of doing things. I do not feel like setting up another email and using a different VPN location every time they ban me.
They didn’t use to be that way. I went a decade with no bans or warnings, but the last years got crazy. It fell completely apart after Trump was inaugurated.
I’ve tried to evade the ban, but they catch up to you eventually. I got a new phone, ditched all the Reddit cookies, signed up on a different network in another state, with a new email, etc…
At first, it took them a few weeks to find me, and they quickly went from a 3 day ban, to a week long ban, to a permanent ban, in quick succession. Then I’d have to do it all over again. The send time took them about a week. The third time took a few days.
The final time, I went to all the trouble, and I was permabanned before I finished my first post. They got my number, they’re watching out for me. I’m a Reddit Outlaw, and I couldn’t be prouder.
I thought the nazi propaganda on the internet was annoying 20 years ago when I occasionally bumped into it. Now I’ll have to carefully curate the internet to not have to hear it constantly. Jfc.
Have you tried accommodation, no consequences and tolerance? Works every time toward fascists.
I’ve personally got a lot on my plate. In trying to survive. There was a time I was more active, but its a young man’s/woman’s game.
“The calls are coming from inside the house!”
I don’t care about tiktok. Just don’t use ut
Yeah but if you live in a democracy those people with their rotten brains will have as much decision power as you do. 😔
If the US becomes a democracy again, we might really have to worry about that! /s
One more platform goes to shit
The optimism of using the word might is doing some heavy lifting here.
May => will become more right wing. whats the alternative
Aka less obnoxiously left-wing, so just more towards the centre. Sounds good.
