Americans fleeing to another Chinese app have got to be some of the dumbest of the dumb that ever did dumb.
It's intentional afaik, this move is primarily motivated by spite. "Oh, you're banning the Singaporean app for being hostile state media? Ok we'll go to actual hostile state media then"
Disclaimer: not a tiktok user, so my knowledge is secondhand
"Singaporean"

Idk man, I've had to switch instances once or twice, but i stick around each time mostly because I don't have to constantly spin up alts to evade bans and continue spreading paid propaganda. And don't immediately start dumping very suspicious comments immediately after making an account.
Not a ban evade, not propaganda. And you're not on reddit. Please remember that. More importantly, I'm glad you found that you hated the US government, all governments really, and would like to dismantle capitalism in favor of mutual aid networks and found the right instance for all that early.
Some don't find a friendly instance early.
Holy shit, how much are you being paid?
That has got to be one of the stupidest takes I've ever heard.
The average person probably doesn’t give a shit about their own data and since they are just moving from one Chinese app to another then their data was already acquired so why would they care now?
It's not about the data, it's about the control over what you see.
Oh yeah because theres totally not propaganda on any major US social media sites. You really think X or Meta's algorithms are any better? Id argue theyre probably worse actually, so I get why a lot of people would be more comfortable with a chinese app.
It's not the US government controlling the algorithm though, it's a company. China actually controls what byte dance does directly.
They love that sticky yellow pooh goo.
I mean... have you to tried to post primary info stuff on Facebook or Reddit?
I got banned from r/worldnews back in the day for posting a Reuters article about Israel. Then a few years later, they removed the mod of r/dankvideos and deleted 2 years worth of sub history, without telling anybody or announcing anything.
The last thing I saw someone complain about a ban on TikTok was because he made a funny video showing his ability to vomit on command.
No one from TikTok is going to flock to YouTube shorts or Insta reels because it's an immediate downgrade. They just want a painless experience no matter who provides it.
Winnie the poo .... Banned
1989.... Banned
Tiennem... Banned
达赖喇嘛 ... Banned
香港加油 ... Super banned
Lol downvote facts.
Why are you censoring me?
Americans criticize their government on all social media platforms constantly, I've never seen any level of censorship over such posts beyond stopping actual threats of violence.
I don't know what kind of bullshit you're peddling, but you're just lying at this point.
Well this has been great but since you can't stop breaking comm rules, this is over. If you think you have freedom to not be right wing on Facebook or x, go ahead and try. You'll be banned in a week, or shadow banned much sooner.
awww, does the brand new baby account pushing CCP propaganda not like being called out?
Too bad.
Say Winnie the pooh.
I dare you.
Winnie the Pooh is not banned in China, the movie came out in public theaters you can search it on any Chinese site, you can buy merch on any Chinese site from any manufacturer of cheap shit and have it shipped to a mainland address.
This was honestly the weirdest obsession of racist westerners in 2017, the insistence a random yellow Disney character was banned due to westerners yet again calling the Chinese yellow skinned animals.
Oh. And I thought it just had something to do with Xi Jinping having thin skin, not yellow skin.
Fuck off Tankie
Trump sucks. Biden sucks. The CIA sucks. The NSA sucks. The FBI sucks. The entire us government sucks.
I'll be waiting for a knock on my door and to be disappeared like 赵伟.
That's not criticism. Criticism would be, since the US tortures and kills more civilians in war than any other modern combatant force, as proven repeatedly by whistleblowers and leaks, the US is not a moral army and shouldn't be allowed to operate a global military network that seems to solely exist to destabilize the global south and ensure white supremacy remains the default mode of thinking.
That'll get you banned on Twitter, that gets you shadow banned on bluesky, that'll get you ip banned on reddit, and will get you demonetized on YouTube.
Edit: also lemmy is as American as an American flag made after 1980
Repeat any of the terms I mentioned that will get you banned and monitored, or worse, in china.
Please I just want you to type them out so you can prove me absolutely wrong.
Just say her name.
PS. No army is moral.
Winnie the poo . 1989. Tienneman square 达赖喇嘛 香港加油
Congrats, bigot.
Anyway none of that is banned nor gets you banned. Your understanding of China comes from the CIA. You're a puppet, pretending you're free, and you refuse to challenge your owners beliefs.
Even thought you've been banned I'll respond by saying my information comes from Chinese people. Because I am aware of the potential of propaganda I like to speak directly, face to face, with people of cultures I have questions about. I have been informed by a number of people. I know people from many regions of China who share the same information.
I live with Chinese people.
I live with someone who worked there for 6 years and just came to live in my home. I live with people from every continent on earth and I speak with them.
