Of course. But I keep it to myself if it's not actually hurting me. It seems so senseless to make someone ashamed of something like that.

Lmao. Ok 👍

It's because they've just decided they hate it/it's just full of dancing teenagers for years now and nothing will ever change their minds. Which is wild because if it ever was that I never saw it and I've been on it for like 5-6 years at least. Everyone just bought into our gov saying they're worried about propaganda/security when my page is mostly filled with memes, gaming stuff, gardening, recipes, cats, news, and now a bunch of people pissed off about the ban.

What really got me is how easily manipulated lemmy/reddit users were the second time they tried to ban it. Tiktok sent out a notification telling their users they were voting for the ban and offering to help them find their local representatives if they wanted to call them and object to it. As they should that's how democracy is supposed to work isn't it? Immediately they got flooded with calls from people like me telling them that we didn't want the ban. Also immediately, the media started to spin it as a bunch of "vulnerable" teenagers and elderly people were forced or tricked into calling in their confusion... And PEOPLE BELIEVED IT. Just ate it right up. Crazy.

You go ahead and lose. I'll continue to push for realistic and incremental progress.

Die standing on your questionable morals then and live with the consequences of your choices.

And he made that assumption based on? Because, again, we know for a fact she didn't sound ignorant on the topic.

Experience isn't an excuse for you to be willfully ignorant. That just makes you old and ignorant.

Not the "I know of this one poc that's in a position of power and so white privilege doesn't exist" argument lol

It's not going to sell. It literally can't because of their laws around proprietary tech. They have stated very clearly they will not sell and the people who voted yes knew this before they voted. They voted for a ban.

That one rich kid that had their own phone line
