Instagram reels and youtube shorts is structured in the same way (from what I can see superficially), though I dont use anything but Lemmy/YouTube. Though the common complaint I hear is that the algorithm is significantly worse on alternatives.
Not sure how this meaningfully changes anything other than forcing people to use another app that also violates their privacy.
I have never used tiktok but you’re pro shutting down social media for what reason? What makes Tiktok more evil than every other social media?
Please refer to this if you want to understand the differences, in brief, between stalinism and Marxism Leninism. https://www.reddit.com/r/Socialism_101/comments/q6cmpu/comment/hgbo08x/
Political ideology is not stagnant and is does not exist in a bubble.
You compared me to a genocide denier, called me a Nazi, speak in riddles without engaging, and deflect every time you are asked a question. You genuinely disgust me now so I’m just going to ignore you at this point.
(All because JT renounces liberals, which is too much to bear for you.)
What? Uyghurs have a rich and important culture, one that needs to be preserved and fostered. The CPC has clearly stated that the idea is to assimilate them to a Chinese national identity. It needs to be addressed and critique is warranted. You can even make an argument that an ethnic cleansing has and is occuring. You cannot, however, throw out accusations of genocide when there is no proof. Sorry, you need evidence for genocide. Or at the very least learn what a genocide is because you are clearly confused.

The fact you compare me to a Nazi is just disgusting. Do better.
MLism does not mean stalinism. Lenin is not Stalin. Lenin wrote works that influenced South American, Central American, Eastern Asian, and Pan-African movements that have overthrown fascist regimes. The fact that you lump together every Marxist Leninist together to Stalin, when the movement is diverse, global, and employed differently everywhere is ludicrous. Its the most black and white thinking imaginable. You have never read Lenin or looked into communist movements inspired by him if you lump all of ML into Stalin.
Again, you refuse to engage with actual words.
No seriously I can’t tell if you’re going to say Holodomor which is contentious amongst historians who specialize on the topic or the Uyghur ‘genocide’ that apparently no proof seems to ever materialize.
Hakim, JT, and Yugopnik aren’t by any means Stalinist, they’re realists who examine material conditions of the Soviet Union, then dispel propaganda and criticize the weaknesses in Soviet policy. Just because they aren’t reactionaries who dont challenge cold war propaganda doesn’t mean they uncritically idolize.
And what do you mean? Nazi policies of what? They are diametrically opposed on fiscal, social, and government structure. You cannot say it fits into ‘Nazi’ rhetoric without giving an example. I can’t engage with unfalsifiable claims.
I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.
MLK Jr.
You’re throwing around fascism to describe supposedly describe Marxist Leninism which makes no sense. Calling far left movements fascist erases historic meaning from the word.
Which genocide does he deny?
Is it? I asked you ‘how so’. Can you provide me a concrete example of a ‘whataboutism’, what is he ignorant about? The reason I asked that is because the quotes he uses encapsulate what the video is about. Quoted from MLK and Malcolm X.
The guy who used to review cars then changed to political content and the guy who releases content for free and paywalls series so he can afford to feed himself, his wife and daughter + colleagues
How so? Would you also call Malcolm X and MLK ignorant?
Israel told them to go to safe spots, such as refugee shelters or the Rafah crossing. The bombed both anyways. Not only does it take significantly more time to evacuate 2 million people, they had no where to evacuate to. This ship and the employers had an option, go through a passageway where they were explicitly warned they would be fired upon or turn back. They chose to ignore explicit orders believing the US had more control and could grant them safe passage. That’s not remotely comparable.
You mean while they were under complete siege and 80,000 died? You wanted them to attack their allies and also take on mass starvation/bombing raids from Saudi Arabia 😆
Thanks for replying to every comment I’ve made to ensure I know that I am a ‘fucking child’. It’s the most mature display I have ever seen. You’re teaching me how to be an adult.
Civilians they told to turn back. Its a single ship not an entire landmass. They immobilized most ships and ceased fire. That’s not some kind of unrestrained bloodlust.
Those waters aren’t safe. They are free to circumnavigate
Where did you get the idea
from their leader and troops
sorry bud but if you’re really going to equate the death of two people to a genocide you lost me there.
They’ve killed two people out of quite a sizable number of attacks. Deeply unfortunate anyone died, but it speaks to the fact they’re trying to avoid civilian casualties. They have the courage to stand up to the US backed genocide of Gaza, because not long ago, they faced similar odds in the US backed, Saudi destruction of Yemen.
They’re using their sovereign rights to blockade their waters. I don’t care about the demonization or the disruption of shipping. They’re putting themselves in the sights of the US out of sheer empathy. Which gives me hope.
I mostly feel for the two developers who have the task of building a social media network for a wage that couldn’t buy you one developer. They’re overloaded with issues and project goals. You cannot go 10 minutes on the ‘fediverse’ without hearing how the developers are awful tankies while then demanding them to add features. Must be exhausting.
I agree its an important feature, I want the internet to have privacy in mind. But its really easy to overlook how much work they put in only to be met with such hostility. Everyone talks about ‘but let’s just fork it, that’s the beauty of open source’ when I guarantee you will not find devs with the same dedication or passion.
Hope that people can agree that wanting this feature is A-OK but that the people working on this project are just overworked people who deserve a bit more respect.
Why not just impose strict regulatory laws on handling of user data and impose fines for everyone who breaks these rules? Oracle hosts most if not all user data in the US so any investigations are already completely possible. Sure you would have to impose the same laws for all (even american) social media sites, but that’s a win for every single person on this planet…
