#tik tok

[abigmessofablog]

so tiktok is cracking down on left wing content and putting warnings like this up now

I hate it here

(edit: @ the people telling me to just delete it, i did almost as soon as I posted this)

The whole "tik tok was banned because people on it were calling for a ceasefire" is just the latest addition to those shitty infographics that went around a while ago blaming every issue in the world on Israel from global warming to capitalism to wars which Israel has no involvement in, neither direct or indirect involvement.

And to non jews, it just looks like criticism of Israel, but it really isn't.

People are saying Israel now but it's not long till they say the quiet part out loud like they always do and say it's jews controlling everything.

Because they're using a common antisemitic trope and have currently just replaced jews with Israel, which must I remind everyone is the only jewish country and houses roughly half of the world's jewish population.

Of course it won't be long till people go from claiming half of the world's jews control the world to all jews control the world, especially when they're using a common antisemitic trope.

i love my lack of algorithm so much. it is so much more rewarding to stumble upon something beautiful than have a curated experience made up of things other people think i like and want me to engage with. it's like going to a plant store and not a forrest. both can be good but i prefer regularly strolling through one far more than the other.

"lol tiktok users would rather learn mandarin than come to tumblr" yeah man that's crazy. who would have thought that people from the video-based dopamine-machine app wouldn't decide to join the text- and image- based no-algorithm website?

Take a quick break to look at some little goats:

As tiktok starts banning words based on pro left wing topics I feel like it's important to tell people this is not a new feature. Tiktok always had this code you just didn't notice it before. You know, the whole K1ll thing users do.

The no results found blacklist is standard code in all social apps in China. You can not have a chat feature without having a blacklist that blocks certain political words. That blacklist gets new words added to it by the Chinese Government and all apps update to ban the new words from search results. TikTok is the western version but it's code skeleton is from the Chinese version.

Remember the Winnie the Pooh is banned in China meme? It is because on Chinese Social media you cannot say Xi JinPing. But a picture comparing Barack Obama and Xi JinPing to a picture of Tigger and Winnie the Pooh started going around. So Chinese citizens critical about Xi JinPing started using the name Winnie the Pooh to mean Xi.

Winnie the Pooh was not banned in all of China you can still buy plushies and you won't like be arrested for owning it. But the characters that spell out Winnie the Pooh will show up with zero results found on social media sites.

Anyone playing on Rednote let me know if the ban is still in place. I'm actually curious since it's been a decade.

But yeah Tiktok either to kiss up to Trump or as part of the deal to get back online added a bunch of Leftist terms to their blacklist code. I am certain as the months go on new terms will be added.

At this point I do not recommend returning to TikTok if you found an alternative during the ban. It's about to be as right leaning as TruthSocial or Elon's side of Twitter. Anything critical of the now current administration will be silenced and removed from the platform.

I will never leave 小红书 ! It’s my fave place right now. The best. 🫶🏾🌺

TikTok came back and it’s all’s weird and totally bought out by trump and tech giants.

I am actually moving to China now, so excited.

Cultural exchange happening on 小红书/Red Note/Little Red Book (we gotta start calling it by one name guys)

This literally feels like a Black Mirror episode

[spitethestate]

Just keep in mind, both parties approved this nonsense.

Republicans wrote laws in the House, Republicans in the Senate approved.

Trump is not in office.

There is no executive order.

Yet everything changed and changed back.

This is a performance.
