TikTok Sucks
(lemmygrad.ml)
The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.
I think social media in general is a double edged sword. It’s great in so many ways but due to the lack of teaching critical thinking it makes the spread and infection of disinformation very effective. My TikTok feed is usually pretty good but I have had the occasional anti-China, or just super Liberal stupidity pop up here and there but I just click not interested and move on. My main issue is with YouTube shorts. That’s where all the reactionary shit is. I swear to. God no matter how often I flag those types of shorts they still keep coming! I’ll be watching Dimension 20 shorts and then BOOM I see Amala Ekpunobi telling me how she was “trained to be a victim” because of other kids touching her hair. I know that treating a black person’s hair as just something you can gawk at and touch as you please is racist, but Ekpunobi was using the worst example of this situation ever. I’m almost 100% certain she was not sincere with her story. Anyway the comments were eating it up, as usual, so I proceeded to whisk that shit away and then report a shit ton of her videos because they are disgusting shit.
