I love how we're all fucked because boomers will never die. Honestly, Gen X has a lot more folks that let us down. It doesn't matter the generation really. I know a pregnant gen Z, and all I can think about is how her kid, according to the popular generational theory, is going to be the next cycle of boomer. That's probably why many young gen Zs are a bunch of little assholes. But then she was a screw up, and my gen, the millineals as everyone knows works harder and is still called lazy and had our own screw ups. Generations are what they are but having no chance at happiness due to the rich controlling every goddamn asset is a new kind of fucked we all have to endure.

Here's how this works:

1. Network is created that doesn't discriminate on speech.
2. The left wins debates and it becomes increasingly liberal over time.
3. Far right billionaires buy it to stop those process.

Loops and other fediverse platforms are more important than ever. We need independent social media - not billionaire owned platforms.

We actually live in a world now in which the President of the United States explicitly states his intent to overtly violate the first amendment and the media just repeats it as if nothing of any note is going on.

The open corruption, clear as day illegal and unconstitutional moves, and his overall smugness is embarrassing.

The GOP has gone insane to allow this man to continue like this. They are all sick with power and are hoping to "get theirs" next from daddy trump.

They are ALL traitors and should be charged for allowing the crimes to continue.

Unsurprising that a guy collapsing the Republic into a fascist dictatorship says that TikTok should be a mouthpiece for the Government. It's time for someone in a country that ISN'T the US, Russia, or China to start a TikTok rival for people to switch to.

Yeah I just hope it kills the app, which I’m sure it will. I never began using it in the first place but seeing it take over all of my fellow Gen Z, you know, the same ones who have admitted to thinking politics don’t matter, won’t be very happy when their favorite app turns to even more utter trash

Hopefully this wins more minds away from social media and even more people can wake the fuck up here in Amerikkka.

So, Trump effectively nationalized TikTok, valued at $300b. He sells it to friendly oligarchs for $15b. So far, this is basically the post-USSR playbook, and how Roman Abravmovich, Alisher Usmanov, Vladimir Lisin, etc. got so rich.

But it might piss off his oligarch buddies if he drives all the users off TikTok making what seemed like a steal into something worthless instead.

So like X.

Had to leave Twitter when it became a Nazi site, I can leave TikTok to I guess.

Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% Epstein files”

Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100%

Me says posts that start with "Trump says" should be tweaked to become 100% invisible.

It's already shite, but why stop there!

I’m glad I never installed that shitty app

In other words, trump says "Stop looking for the Epstein files!".

Sure, it'll just kill the app in the US because fascists lack any creativity so it'll become a stale echo chamber before people just leave

Wow that sounds like a fun way to bankrupt another company

I'll just leave this here.

I'm sure it really depends on where you live, but here in East Europe I've noticed tiktokkers slowly turning into Z'ers who start accepting Russian disinfo as facts. Meaning, it's already pro-MAGA

I already moved to redgifs. Goodbye Tik Tok.

Oh sure, but it's the lefties who are in their echo chambers.

and that is what we call another piece of their propaganda machine

Well, this is one way to kill tiktok

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

Brain rot only for the right… 28 TikToks Later…

And renamed to Hate Tok
