@flexghost This is kind of a good outcome, at least? I feared the worse.

@molly0xfff Tiktok was also controlling the online space. They got caught suppressing LGBTQ content, or any content they didn't like as well as boosting any message that fits their own agenda. It wasn't an open or fair algorithm.

@evacide It's crazy how people are willingly choosing a platform with authoritarian censorship like rednote as opposed to free ones like Mastodon.

@Radical_EgoCom @sememmon We can talk about that sure.

A Chinese company isn't protected by American laws. Only US citizens and companies are. Protection against censorship doesn't go beyond the US borders. It's not censorship unless it is silencing American citizens or companies.

For those who believe TikTok doesn't deserve a ban, search for "Chinese Uyghurs" within the app. You won't see content criticizing the CCP. It's not a free speech platform if topics are tightly controlled.

@Radical_EgoCom @sememmon Context is important. It can't just be ignored without good reason.

@sememmon @TheDialecticalCommunist True, it would be, but his account is pro-China.

@sememmon His name, profile pic, profile banner, and other posts are pro-China. It's inaccurate to say there is no comparison to China being presented.

@BeAware Maybe because registered non-profits have to adhere to a lot more transparency rules under EU law?

It's interesting how #nostr has AI bots replying to posts.

@BeAware Sometimes I sit to pee.

@BeAware So much for "Embrace, extend, and extinguish", Threads couldn't even embrace.

@al1r4d Nostr isn't even a blockchain! It uses broadcast and relays, it doesn't copy anything from bitcoin.

@al1r4d I hope #nostr gets out of their bitcoin obsession. There's a lot of potential in the network technology. There is just too much shilling there for my taste.

@BeAware is it funny that your comment was by this one on my feed?

@BeAware So.. Roblox?

@BeAware I pointed this out to someone and a bunch of people criticized me. I then showed how their post was accessible by an instance which should have been blocked, by default.

Doesn't feel like #fediverse just got a lot better within the year? I can follow John Green on #threads. #pittsburgh news on #flipboard.

#twitter #x is cooked.

@BeAware How can I follow Pennsylvania topics on flipboard. Is there a way yet?
