He also said Americans won’t have enough to worry about China spying on them anymore or something like that… right before saying this

No, not North Korea clone but a Nazi Germany clone.

Nazi Germany unraveled itself by attacking its neighbors. Do you think thats ever going to happen?

Genuinely, how would it be any different to Twitter and Truth Social then? I’ve not used any of them so maybe I don’t understand the distinction between each

A much bigger young audience?

TikTok is a short video social platform. People post only videos. The two you mentioned are short public messaging social platforms, with the capability to post/include videos.
That’s not really what this is about, though. TikTok was not under their control, so they’re trying to take control and follow their script of media and social control.

Whenever conservatives argue or demand that something be changed because they want it to … you know that any change they make will only last as long as the money if flowing.

This is nothing but outright propaganda designed to assert themselves in a good light.

I dont think your definition of “American” matches with the rest of the world if this is “un-american” for you.

Nah, as a European this is pretty un-American
Their propaganda is usually much more subtle

Democrats just wanted to ban it for going against their narrative. Fick the two party system.
buttnugget@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
I’m not quite following you. First, I never heard about Democrats wanting to ban it for their narrative; I only know about the bipartisan ban. Is that what you mean? Second, what are you talking about with the thanking the DNC thing? What does that have to do with this?
Lastly, I strongly disagree that we deserve Trump. Nobody deserves right wing lunacy, especially not a large society that did not uniformly support his candidacy in any way. Do you think Germany deserved Hitler?

Good thing they don’t have the skills to do it and make it attractive to the currect users. I’m fine with Larry Ellison’s losing billions in the process.
evasive_chimpanzee@lemmy.world 1 day ago
They literally did that with Facebook. Yeah, plenty of people left, but it worked.
Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
Yeah, facebook didn’t do that. Facebook is “popular” with the old 50+ and force use in developing countries. The more right FB goes, the more they lose younger people. It’s the snake eating it’s own tail.

_cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 21 hours ago
yeah, because it’s bankrolled by one billionaire now, so it doesn’t matter how badly he runs it, as long as he decides to keep it up. it could never make a single dime ever again, and he could run it for as long as he wanted because he makes vastly more than twitter costs.
back when it was public, if it had lost this many advertisers when it wasn’t profitable to start with, it might have been a very different situation for them. they had to convince investors to keep giving them money back then.

Twitter is 5% nutjobs, 95% bots. You really need a mental illness to be able to browse Twitter unironically.
