Anti-<topic> Billionaires Have Always Been Able to Control What People in General See.
The difference now is Chinese Billionaires were Anti <Israel> and the new American Billionaires are Anti <Palestine>
From the river to the sea.
Palestine will be free
free palestine from hamas
American unironically screaming “You voted for this!” at a children’s mass grave.
nice propaganda, very picturesque.
Israel will be free
Free to massacre children?
Abolish Israel. End the settler state.
Why not both?
They already did.
A few years ago, Osama Bin Laden’s open letter to the American people was being shared and people had their posts deleted.
It was being shared because the first reason he lists for attacking on 9/11 was America’s support for Israel.
He won. Every person employed by the TSA and every shoe removed is a posthumous W for crippling America
Ditch TrumpTok
Oh no! Genocidal maniacs have taken control over TikTok… again!
Isn’t that the case with all major social media platforms?
Aside from the fediverse one would hope
Back in the day this just meant that people would mobilize and flood the platform with pro Palestinian content just to troll.
nobody would know if it’s all supressed
That’s why quantity is important online. They can’t suppress it all.
It just surprises me that people put more effort trying to get AI to quote Hitler than they do trying to fight for something like this.
Why is there this asymmetry of effort between the political factions.
This is also why governments are pushing so hard for “AI.” AI won’t be used to improve the quality of our lives. It will be used for advertising, propaganda, surveillance and control. Only AI is fast enough to run all the bots and generate the blizzard of BS fast enough to counter the opinions of millions of people online.
What about in the opposite direction. Isn’t AI a tool that can be used to create, analyze and research. Which is why I think it’s pushed very hard for the left to alienate themselves from it. It gives anyone who embraced it a big advantage.
Remember when we were worried that TikTok was going to be used by the CCP to spread Chinese government propaganda?
Good news! It’s STILL going to be used to spread propaganda, it just belongs to another group of billionaire dingbats, now.
Seems like that was always the end goal. Imperialist global power built on colonialism continues to push forward neocolonialism, more at 11.
dont you mean pro-zionist/ possibly antisemtic billionaires. antisemitism gives legitmacy to BIBIs regime.
Can we just all riot now? I just need a riot buddy?
I’m encouraging everyone I know who still uses TikTok to leave it. Ditto for CBS / Paramount+
But not what Loop users can see.
RedNote is a good alternative.
Downvoted by those who can’t think for themselves. Go to Reddit if you want neoliberal cultural hegemony.
is rednote an actual alternative for non-chinese?
No, it’s not even like Tiktok at all. The vast majority of the content is in Mandarin and if you aren’t Chinese your not going to know the asinine culture rules and get banned for something you thought was silly, but they take very seriously.
I haven’t been banned yet, but then again I save all my shitposts for the fediverse and stick to book reviews on RedNote.
Same, but it’s just because I don’t comment or post as I don’t speak Mandarin, so the majority of the people wouldn’t even know what I am saying. What’s the point you know?
I have found a bunch of really cool recipes, man they love their eggs…
Some people provide translated subtitles and the app does have a built in translator function. I found it’s enough to converse, but definitely niche.
for non-chinese
or for Chinese that don’t want to be censored?
Most platforms have some kind of moderation. But I’m sure a Chinese platform will be quite selective about a particular set of topics and themes.
So the solution to algorithm being dictated by billionaires or governments with little to no transparency is to move to another one?
Maybe its better to stay by the sidelines instead of constantly rushing to join the next new social media. Perhaps its better to view them more from a position of an observer than a participant when it comes to the meta, tiktok, twitter type social media run by big centralized money or governments backing them.
Westerners would rather drown in capitalist propaganda than listen to anything a diabolical Chinese national might have to say.
Tankies would rather push a Chinese state controlled app over a Fediverse replacement ran by real people.
Excited for the next edition of liberal pogroms against people using the wrong kind of social media.
How’d that work out for your boy Biden, again?
Why do you want to promote state owned and not citizen owned social media?
Do you need a big strong government to come tell you what you’re allowed to think?
You seem confused
“Citizen owned social media”
How cute.
What’s the fediverse alternative?
@youare_acooldude @Mrkawfee Loops
Ahh, thanks!
Loops?
Great, another app that nobody will use. Sadly users prefer convenience and popularity over things like decentralization or software freedom.
