American unironically screaming “You voted for this!” at a children’s mass grave.

Free the fediverse from zionist pro genocide and settler colonialism people like you.

Israel will be free
Typhoon@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Free to massacre children?
Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 weeks ago
Abolish Israel. End the settler state.
FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Why not both?
youare_acooldude@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
They already did.
A few years ago, Osama Bin Laden’s open letter to the American people was being shared and people had their posts deleted.
It was being shared because the first reason he lists for attacking on 9/11 was America’s support for Israel.

He won. Every person employed by the TSA and every shoe removed is a posthumous W for crippling America

Ditch TrumpTok

Oh no! Genocidal maniacs have taken control over TikTok… again!

Isn’t that the case with all major social media platforms?
SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Aside from the fediverse one would hope
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Back in the day this just meant that people would mobilize and flood the platform with pro Palestinian content just to troll.
demonsword@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
nobody would know if it’s all supressed
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That’s numbers are important. They can’t suppress it all. Like people put more effort trying to get AI to quote Hitler than they do trying to fight for something like this. Why is there this asymmetry of effort between the political factions.

Remember when we were worried that TikTok was going to be used by the CCP to spread Chinese government propaganda?
Good news! It’s STILL going to be used to spread propaganda, it just belongs to another group of billionaire dingbats, now.

dont you mean pro-zionist/ possibly antisemtic billionaires. antisemitism gives legitmacy to BIBIs regime.
mrdown@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I call them pro settler colonialism and pro genocide in Gaza
TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Seems like that was always the end goal. Imperialist global power built on colonialism continues to push forward neocolonialism, more at 11.

RedNote is a good alternative.
SweetCriticalPumpkin@reddthat.com 2 weeks ago
is rednote an actual alternative for non-chinese?
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
No, it’s not even like Tiktok at all. The vast majority of the content is in Mandarin and if you aren’t Chinese your not going to know the asinine culture rules and get banned for something you thought was silly, but they take very seriously.
Kissaki@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
for non-chinese
or for Chinese that don’t want to be censored?
Most platforms have some kind of moderation. But I’m sure a Chinese platform will be quite selective about a particular set of topics and themes.
Lfrith@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
So the solution to algorithm being dictated by corporations or governments with little to no transparency is to move to another one?
Maybe its better to stay by the sidelines when it comes to constantly rushing to next social media and view them more from a position of curiosity than a participant when it comes to the meta, tiktok, twitter type social media run by big centralized money or governments backing them.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
People would rather drown in capitalist propaganda than listen to anything a diabolical Chinese national might have to say.
Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 weeks ago
Tankies would rather push a Chinese state controlled app over a Fediverse replacement ran by real people.
EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 2 weeks ago
I’m encouraging everyone I know who still uses TikTok to leave it. Ditto for CBS / Paramount+

Can we just all riot now? I just need a riot buddy?

But not what Loop users can see.

Anti-<topic> Billionaires Have Always Been Able to Control What People in General See.
yeather@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
The difference now is Chinese Billionaires were Anti <Israel> and the new American Billionaires are Anti <Palestine>
mrdown@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Which chinese billionaires are anti israel?
