Yes, technically speaking as passed the ban could be enforced against any app controlled by a “Foreign Adversary” as deemed by the gov (so China, Russia etc.) and is determined to be of significant threat to national security.

Lol no, no it does not

Hence why I don’t think conservatives today are truly right wing, they don’t really do the shit they claim they are all about.

They never did, except maybe in the 80s or someshit

Uhh, I think you posted to the wrong thread lmao

Crows 2028! Let’s gooooooo

Classic right-wing nut “You have to listen and like what I say or it’s CeNSOrShIp”

but you have to be able to listen to them.

Not when they’re absolute shit takes, hate speech, denial of basic facts, misinformation, propaganda or intolerance we don’t.

Right-wingers have long abandoned sensible debates for hate and anger, pointless “identity politics” and sucking off Trump

Tankies refuse to accept any and all criticism of the totally-not authoritarian Chinese/Russian governments no matter what facts and evidence is presented to them

I was curious if Amazon had Xenon gas because that would have been hilarious. Except for element samples, they don’t

But

I could buy a big ass tank of nitrogen if I wanted LMAO

It did lean to the left…until they “tweaked” the algorithm to push more right-wing content

Well yes and no, people are moving to it, mostly as a form of protest IMO

I highly doubt it was “designed” for sowing discord and such, RedNote was very much intended to be a local Chinese SM. Most of the app isn’t even in English last I saw, just Chinese and they’re rushing to hire “English-speaking” moderators rn

It’s not an either/or thing, both can be bad, both should be banned or at least heavily regulated. Right now we got one banned so far so I’ll take it

170 million users in the United States.

Tankies: But it’s just a lil Chinese app, why the US single out TiKTok‽

That’s why. That’s an incredible amount of influence right there.

I wouldn’t mind having a horse for transportation, but got damn are they expensive (both financially and physically) to maintain.

How the hell did anyone but the rich afford horses before the car‽

Huh. Didn’t expect that lol

That’s really just sticking your head in the sand, in a way “pulling up the ladder behind you” in regards to new users. I’m not saying Lemmy needs to grow at an explosive rate, but we should still have healthy growth. And the Tankie Triad is against and sometimes straight up hostile to new users who aren’t tankies

That was…not where I thought it was going lmao

Problem is, they don’t argue in good faith, no matter what evidence or arguments you bring to the table no matter how long or short they’re right and you’ve just been subjected to brainwashing/propaganda.

Nor is it a debatable political position to be spread Nazi-ism or bigotry (which is what most right-wingers do)

I’ve seen it before, but I’m not completely convinced tbh, Tankies are authoritarian communists because they believe it to be the path forward and get rid of capitalism with the authoritarian part only being wielded against businesses/owners

Right-wing authoritarianism is all about control because racism, a 6000 year old fiction book and the rich

I’ll have you know at least 20% of my shitposts have been posted while I was outside.

So there!

Lol did you see the one where they’re complaining about Lemmy “censorship” because their shit takes get downvoted to hell lmao
