I didn’t see much at all initially over at the Bad Place about the attempted coup in South Korea. Here I saw a video of the Democratic opposition leader live-streaming his climbing the walls of parliament to get inside to vote.

It is so good to see the people rising against tyranny over there. I spent a couple years in Busan when I was young and the people there have a special place in my heart. Also I miss the food.
That might be the case on twitter. But also, remember @hankgreen.bsky.social has shown us that anything with a link over there is deprioritized from people's feeds since elon controls them.
News coverage was pretty even so it might be getting posted but never seen due to link deprioritization
Sure, if you already follow people. Finding new people using the algorithm is utterly manipulated garbage with Elon's posts about birth rates and other insane garbage at the top. Elon manipulates the comments with blue check payments and the site amplifies whatever garbage he wants.
Yes and why continue to support a platform that is gamed to favor the fascists. Media and left-leaning voices are suppressed. The Nazis are amplified and rewarded with $.
I am in both places because I can't get everything I want on just one or the other. I don't click on any ads but I admit that EM must be making money off me somehow. Through aggressive blocking I don't see the any white supremacists or fascists, but I know they are there.
I’d imagine he gets paid every time an ad is presented to you. I had a follow feed that I used but sometimes he’s throw me into “For You” and it would be like Matt Gaetz, MTG, and Elon spouting nonsense and conspiracy. Nope that’s not “for me”.
I am in awe of what a well oiled machine the South Korean government is. That should have been our "Mafia Don" waking up with a horses head in bed with him.
That's why an astute democrat should go on Fox to discuss. It's world news! If Fox and republicans are unwilling to talk about anything that might educate their base, a democrat should go on and do it. Their viewers may draw the parallels or maybe not, but it's worth a try. Start campaigning now!
The mainstream media is not talking about Georgia, Gaza, Russian economy collapsing, elon trying to cover up info wars, etc....or India interference in canada.
Unfortunately, to get real international news reports, you have to go to places like the BBC-even here viewer discretion is advised for validity of reporting
But you better believe those in the incoming administration were watching those events closely and studying what took place. They may have won the election, but democracy hasn't failed in America yet.
Scant coverage for a rather newsworthy event. It makes me question the priorities of modern news at the moment. They're too focused on the clown show here to see if there's anything we should worry about elsewhere. And yes, worry we should.
Many citizens of the ROK, itself a nascent democracy, know all too well what life is like under tyrannical rule. They fought long and hard to establish one of Asia’s premier democracies and will not give up on it lightly. Democracy is only as good as it’s people and you get what give.
Different platforms for VERY different types of people.
There would have been loads of videos excitedly being shared over on the Other Platform if the martial law coup attempt had succeeded (the OP’s average users are big fans of that kind of authoritarian stuff)

The media is hiding the fact that civilians stopped an attempted coup.
"it's tuesday evening and we're korean"
This app is really getting better and better.

Also, those people in parliament are no joke. They were ready to defend democracy no matter what.

Just cut it off.
It’s kind of like regularly posting here that yes, polar bears are still white.
The bar is sinking so fast!
They bring it down for a fascist.
Too many moron groups. The Religious Right worked for this since the 80s.
Realtime around the globe news from on the ground as it impacts real folks, and as unfiltered as possible.
