It’s really challenging for me to not give into my hate. I want to be a better person than I was as a younger man. But my sense of justice is fighting to make me bitter.
Did anyone else see the newest little feature that was added that just so happens to match Insta and Facebook? 🫠🫠 Also that FB created an account on TT? … something ain’t smelling right…
I’m lost..I spent 36 straight hours with no sleep, making sure I sent messages in lives and left comments, letting everyone know I hoped their dreams came true if this is really it..I spread as much love as I could…
Dude, the only way you're not going to get bombarded by propaganda is by literally not participating in anything on the internet or TV. As for "foreign assets" got any actual data to back that up?
I just said you can't escape propaganda if you ingest just about any media. You'd have to go without the internet and TV and, even then, you'd also have to never interact with people. If you want to exist in an online space, you need to at least try to use your brain.
Watched the profile pics start to disappear, then videos stop working, but it stopped on one video of Andrew Licout’s recording music satire and it’s now just on a loop
I literally was scrolling and the comments stopped loading, then the algorithm completely reset and profile pics stopped loading, then it was gone. It stopped working and loading new vids.
I’m going to throw up.
US government thinks it can just sanction an entire superpower by passing an unpopular law that's widely seen by the American public as a restriction of free speech instead of protecting our data.
I haven't tried it yet mostly since I don't have the time right now to learn Mandarin and I keep seeing that English posts are taken down immediately 🥲
pretty sure Hank generally posts the same videos to youtube shorts as well... not ideal by any means, but it's not meta at least. Plus most of Hank's long-form content is all on youtube as well, it's his roots
Yeah, so every US tech company asks for just as many, if not MORE of users information. It is only tiktok being targeted cause "China bad." Despite the fact they have done nothing to influence the US in any way, shape, or form...
Yes, they have. I find it unfathomable that someone could believe any media mega-conglomerate is less intrusive or manipulative than another, regardless of original origin or current ownership. If you trust Sinclair, Fox, or CNN more than TT, you haven't done your research.
I'd say a great way to limit how people use their right of free speech is to get rid of the place where people congregate for information. There were news stories that were getting ZERO traction from our own news sources. Gaza being the biggest example. Couldn't find that on Insta or Facebook.
You are young though.. We ALL get addicted to our foreign adversary's social media platforms with secretive choice feeds for their own people vs you.. when we are young.
Its totally normal. But we all had to mourn, and like with most relationships.. Our friends show us how mad we were to date them
I’m old enough to have trailblazed from xanga to MySpace, then to Facebook 20 years ago when it opened to the public. TikTok was different and it’s ignorant for anyone to think otherwise.
The only thing TikTok did to contribute was give American people a place to air their grievances. The government made this bed by themselves. It’s the laws passed with hate and bigotry, or stripping away women’s rights that have made us despise them. Letting billionaires buy power. Not China.
TikTok ban is a huge win for Meta. Nothing like some government assisted boost in the market share. Even if you get on Mastadon you’re not entirely safe from Meta. If anyone were to completely unravel that mess (Meta), I am sure it would be a nightmare on the other end.
I like to think a silver lining to it all will pop up eventually in the future. Albeit, I'm just talking for the sake of talking. I never had a TikTok.
Unreal… Trump created a problem so that he could be “our savior ” to fix it. I hope this is obvious to everyone. America has many opinions, but very little choices. We are not free.
ATProt Tik Tok alternative. Idt getting an MVP up and running would be the terribly difficult. Funding the MVP to build through its growing pains would be hard, getting users would be hard, and getting an acceptable algo would be hard. We’d need a lot of cash essentially, but cash would follow users
Just like the TikTok ban. Democrats didn't see that it was such an obviously dumb move to make in an election year. Bipartisan support, and now Trump gets to swoop in and save America from something he and Republicans supported. Democrat leaders are just dumb. I saw this coming. How did they not?
I've been reading it was prompting to connect to META services and Zuck was just down at Mar a Lago meeting with Trump. They probably decided on this plan and there you go.
Ugh. And my dumb ass has already tried to open the app, like when you forget you’ve already checked the fridge expecting new snacks to magically appear 😂
There it goes. I can see pages past the point of them being able to see comments. My phone and service are Japanese. When they all say I guess that’s it we should shut it down, I say nooooo. I mean it just explodes out of me with the tears. Then I whisper goodbye when they go dark.
It’s not me being selfish because my fun is gone. It’s a reaction to another loss of another freedom and watching as America fall so far from its ideals and promises.
Shou posted and mentioned Trump in a video toward the end and it gave me a bad feeling - so this message didn't surprise me. TT in it's former glory is dead at this point and even if it's saved it wont be the same.
One of the last videos on my fyp was your confession about eating grass.. if that’s really the end, it was a good way to go out. Thanks for all the lessons and laughs over there, Hank!!

About time people took some personal responsibility for complying.
Oh wait, it’s only true news when it suits yot fee fees, right?
Just like MAGA?
I’m going to throw up.
You were the last face I saw, and that feels right💔
Have a great day Kimmy. America has hard times coming. Best of luck with all of it from Europe.
You have every right to use the same kind of app made in America.
To claim this is a violation of your rights has me thinking you nevr got taught about world war 2 and have no idea what the states is in for.
Its totally normal. But we all had to mourn, and like with most relationships.. Our friends show us how mad we were to date them

That was the goal of the American branch of the chinese app Tiktok (Douyin in China). They succeeded.
Trump is back in office, You think that is a coincidence? lol
Its going to be so sad seeing what they managed to do to America.
Well, I should be acclimated to broken promises from our government by now, but you see how that's going lol
His got dropped 5 years ago.
