-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
well, this is what it took for me to finally install TikTok on my phone
Honestly after years of scoffing at Tik Tok I've kinda become addicted to it the last few weeks, there's just SO MANY anti-cop Tik Toks
yeah what we discovered from all the probes into tiktok was that tiktok wasnt promoting palestinian content it was legitimately that organically popular and that they had to go out of their way to promote israeli content otherwise it would naturally be drowned out completely
and also there is a pretty big contingent of anarchist and marxist tiktokers and they are pretty popular that they start popping up on the average persons fyp and tiktok doesnt suppress them like other platforms
also we get cool news that literally does not get reported at all. like did you know last week a retired general in the us navy was gunned down by seattle police for trying to convince a single mother to watch him SA her 2 preteen girls? been a week. google it. only results you get is a journalist and photographer who is talking about it on tiktok because he was there after the fact and took the photos and has been following up on it. wonder why his name is never mentioned hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
oh looks like today they finally updated some of the articles with his name. unfun fact, the guy oversaw the medical at guantanamo bay rest in piss fuckwad
This has the obvious implication of every other social media provider intentionally suppressing Palestinian content and promoting Israeli content. And yes, we knew that already, but they've tacitly admitted it to normal people now by going after TikTok.
They do the moment they start speaking out against US imperial interests against the typical main targets. Anything less than that though is fine
this hasnt been my experience
welcome to the fucking brain drain
that point when youve been scrolling for like an hour and the for you page gets WEIRD it really feels like the internet of wold when people would create geocities webpages about how the argentinian government was secretely planning to blow up the moon
The first time I opened TikTok about 30 seconds in immediately googled "TikTok how to disable autoplay"
Needless to say I did not last long on that app.
Autoplay is easily the antifeature I hate the most.
Add rathbonemakesmusic and Pokepreet1 to your follows and you'll start getting all the leftist stuff pretty quickly.
Rathbone's been kinda shitty lately. I'm a big fan of Saint, he's a perfect bridge between anarchist and tankie.
Massively sectarian for sure. But the goal here is less to do with rathbone and more to do with setting tiktok's algorithm in the direction of the lefty content.
That's a good point! TikTok's algorithm adjusts itself extremely fast, so it only takes a few interactions with leftist creators to dial it in.
