TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.
The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.
I feel like I remember the tankies saying something about there being no potential issues with using TikTok. Has there been any reaction in the triad?
Tiktok was THE platform for pro-gaza content and solidarity. Leaks from Congress proves this. It’s a shell of what it once was now that the US oligarchs are in control of it and have turned it into their right wing spyware platform.
Blocked for unironically using the word ‘tankie’.
I mean, you guys have legitimately genocidal folks like yogthos that your admins pat on the head as they bludgeon their way through every conversation with 4chan speak. I do not respect you enough to feel offended by your absence. If you don’t like the word, sort out your tankie users.
Armenian and Bosnian.
I genuinely have no clue about the goings on of any African nation, besides Kenya. And mostly just the soccer bits through a coworker. I wish I were informed enough to engage with you on what seems to be an accusation, but if something’s happened in South Africa and it doesn’t involve musk’s weird intrafamilial spouse trading family, I probably don’t know about it.
Your link’s dead
I don’t see yogthos in this, so I don’t- wait, you misunderstood. I said yogthos was a fan of genocide, not either of you admins. No, both you and your fellow dev just seem sleep starved and politically hugboxxy, not genocidey. Which you’re allowed to be, you made the site and it seems to take a lot of your time.
Though I wish you’d define the political hugbox a bit more explicitly in the sidebar. Banning for inobvious rules will always produce animosity from new users. You’re not doing yourselves any favors by hiding it behind euphemisms.
The only person I know who ever denied the Armenian genocide was Cenk Uygur, which he later walked back.
An Bosnian genocide is much more controversial. That the Srebrenica massacre constituted genocide had been refuted by a number of scholars, including Noam Chomsky, Edward Herman, and Michael Parenti.
I get that you want to stand by your most loyal users and political theory, but jfc

If you begin to question what is or is not a genocide as a laymen, you’re literally never going to find broad social purchase. I have nothing against communists or communism, I have something against you, personally. Hit me up if you ever get a therapist and we’ll probably get along.
Ok tankie
Ok fascist
Well hold on, I’m neither of these things, but isn’t tankie a communist thing? And if so, why would somebody calling a duck a duck automatically be a fascist? Unless, is anybody that is not a communist a fascist?? I thought fascists were auth right, specifically?
Tankie is a pejorative for communists that gets unilaterally branded onto people by anti-communists. I’m happy to declare people using it unironically to be fascists, and if you don’t agree with that, well, tough luck, you were the one who started throwing around snarl words
The issues with tiktok started in 2020 when Trump threatened to ban it after they organized RSVPing one of his rallies and he performed in a mostly empty stadium.
Tiktok responded by hiring state department ghouls to oversee moderation, then 2020 popped off and they clamped down even harder.
There were never issues with the chinese government. The issue was always with the US government.
the issues with tiktok started when it was first announced. It’s sad that it got “heroified” through the gaza events
