Thank god for bold platforms like TikTok that refuse to push US propaganda. Really smart of them to not censor valuable information as a way of fooling the US government into exposing its evil censorship ways. TikTok's fate in the US was never a topic before the current wave of pro-Palestinian activism started. It certainly wasn't one of Trump's main talking points ten years ago. Good thing he changed his mind after getting his hands on ~~some Chinese money~~ lucrative investmenet from Chinese citizens that are not at all connected to Tencent.

None of this discourse on combatting foreign information manipulation started over a decade ago, its all about censoring pro-Palestine voices here and now. TikTok and China in general are known for their calm, collected attitudes toward Muslims. They certainly would never weaponize a contentious topic every which way imaginable in pursuit of financial and geopolitical goals. We need more of these open and bold platforms.

No, that’s neurodivergence.

I feel seen. LOL

I feel like with all the posts I ramble on (and TRY to pare down) in Lemmy, I could just have easily had a somewhat healthy blog going by now...that nobody would read because it wasn't on Medium or some other monolith. XD

& when you call them out they want to lead you down this endless response chain. You wonder if they get bonuses for it

Oh yeah, nothing like hallucinating that everyone you talk to is an enemy, and when they complain, well that just proves it.
