Ah, you just described average chinese ecommerce app. Fuckloads of ads, check-ins, roulette and sometimes straight up prompting fishy microcredit deals. They even put live streaming into food service app, some merchants in meituan(chinese uber eat) has a popup of live stream when you enter their page… Chinese apps are just TERRIBLE.
stop thinking tech bros are pro-lgbt or whatever liberal ideas, they just do whatever suit best for their stock. it was progressive agenda and it’s now conservative.
they need to do what france did to durov. after the arrest, telegram did a major shift on content moderation. they need to make actual law enforcement instead of just saying things. but, eh, it’s elon musk, i bet they dont have balls to stand against world richest dickhead.
privacy is scary stuff if you think. it’s like, i care so i dont share my phone number with facebook, but someone out there may have my number/address/name on their contact list and chances are big that they have no problem sharing with zuck. so i’ll still end up on zuck’s database.
i remember bbc had an experimental mastodon instance, but they dont seem to post anything anymore. i hope they’ll give an update on the trial, anything they found out good bad unworthy whatsoever.
it’s efficiency for corporation to exploit the poor. when people like elon promotes deregulation = efficiency, they just leave the latter part on purpose.
Nah, they dont give a shit about logic, they only know “own the libs!”.
I get it, Trump says insane shit. But the undeniably truth is that it doesn’t matter, pointing out Trump is bullshiting everyday won’t help (but calling out his bullshit is still needed). Democrats need good policies to energize its own base. Joe Biden already has a very low-level approval rating, they need something new, something can resonate with voters, yet Kamala basically ran the campaign like “i’m just like joe biden”. (or even worse on things like border).
the democrat leadership is to blame. i bet they’ll run further right with republicans next election cycle. nowadays it seems they dont care about policies anymore, all they know is just running around shouting things like “abortion!” “trump bad”.

you dont need to know him and he can be anyone on the internet, it doestnt matter, what he is arguing is still very accurate.
After inauguration it will be everyday post about insane-shit-orange-man-just-said.jpg … Remember 2017-2021
You can actually track mail in ballot, so if there is a failure, there would still be time to fix. It not like that the vote failed and people won’t know.
I mean, at some level people do notice trump is 1000% worse, but those people are not red right? By running to the middle/even right, Kamala basically discouraged her own base, she tried too hard to reach “never trump republicans” instead her own base. But turns out those people are marginal compare to liberal/left base, how stupid they didn’t understand this. TFG has a 90% approval rating (within his own party) why tf are you trying to get republicans.
the whole culture war (like transgender/feminism) is just a scapegoat for economy. they knew people are anxious about economy so they need something to direct all those blames. because all they would do for the economy is the exact oppossite: shit like untax the rich, deregulation, cancelling wellfare program, privatize healthcare, all of which will worsen people’s anxious about economy/future.
to put it a better way, i would say he went down the right wing rabbit hole for last 4 or 5 years on twitter. but i would also argue that fundamentally he is just a horrible selfish human being, but disguised as that he was autistic or something.
relax dude. i’m not trying to debate you “daily” or “almost daily”, i’m just curious what current situation is like.
can you elaborate on “daily protests”? i feel like things are pretty calm now after national security law passed.
nowadays sites usually dont provide rss, so you need something to convert webpage to rss, like rssbrige or rsshub, even rssproxy sometimes. rsshub & rssbrige also have categories/catalogs you can check if anything interests you. i wouldnt suggest follow forums with rss, because they tend to update very frequently essentially overwhelm your feeds, but i followed several cat related just for fun.

i would say the situation is so much worse than you expected. one thing westerners doest seem to realize is that xiaohongshu has a very upper echelon user base, those users already have a tendency to lgbt/feminism such “western value”. if you go douyin/kuaishou, these platforms are where you can actually meet real 2/3/4 tier city people, they tend to have much negative view to such cultures. “基佬”, which means “removeds” is still widely used and mostly in a negative context. during monkeypox outbreak people call the disease as “基佬痘” “removed pox”.
in term of cencorship, xiaohongshu’s policy varies based on account (or speaking genrally, every platform does this, because they have to make exceptions for internation users). like, chinese people cant search keywords like lesbian as they are censored, but people outside china can. cencorship works very complicated in china, in extreame case, western users can send winnie the pooh / tiananmen / hongkong to chinese user on wechat, the message seems deliverd on their side, but the app simply doesnt display such message on the chinese user’s side. not only they censor keywords, they also routinely nuke bloggers “promoting western cultures”, sometimes people can even get into legal trouble. chinese censorship is so much worse than silicon valley tech company, even twitter uder musk, i dont think they are on the same level.
Edit: the removed word is f* word for gay people. i didnt realize lemmy would remove it.
