I never used it because of the Chinese government affiliation. I’d feel even less inclined to use it with maga affiliation.

It being outside of the United States and outside of United States control was an absolute benefit for me, What was your reason for hating it while it was under Chinese control?

There are multiple reasons for me. First and foremost is the data collection that they’ve been accused of; I know American companies do the same thing, but there’s something more nefarious about a state run data collection scheme than a public company collecting data to sell you ads, which I’m also trying to avoid as much as possible. Next, I don’t support their labor practices - using child, slave (Uyghurs) and cheaper labor is a big deterrent. I realize that some level of that is unavoidable with the way our society is based, but I don’t really need another social media outlet in my life anyway, so it’s a really easy cut for me.

Trump creams in his pants thinking about having the control the Chinese government has.

Yeah, but it isn’t under American control, which is the most important part, or at least it was. Anyways, I’m not going to keep badgering you to try to convince you to get on it, but I would also admonish you for not at least giving it 30 minutes of your time when you were bored just to screw around with it before you wrote it off completely
