They are not becoming more right-wing, they are becoming more pro-Israel.Even Netanyahu said that they are buying TikTok to brainwash the youth with Israeli propaganda.
“May”??
they are hoping to capture the gen-z crowd into leaning right wing before they jump ship to another platform.
May => will become more right wing. whats the alternative
One more platform goes to shit
This was the plan all along. It became enormously influential, so Trump is forcing China to sell it to MAGA and become ANOTHER mouthpiece for the Conservative Propaganda Machine. They did it to Twitter, they did it to Reddit, and now they’re going to do it to TikTok.
i peeked over r/space, and there were people complaining about reddit deleting comments, and promoting right wing content, i was thinking your not helping by still using the platform. they were aslo discussing moving to lemmr, but they claim lemmy isnt good enough for one reason or another.
what happened to reddit - who bought it ?
After the Inauguration, Musk visited Spez on February, and they permabanned thousands, perhaps millions of their most active users. I had a 12 year account, nearly a million Karma, and I was permabanned for repeating an opinion that I had posted numerous times without a word from any mod. Trump gets inaugurated, and suddenly it’s enough to get me permabanned.
And there were lots of others. The purge gutted Reddit, and left it filled with nothing but bots and trolls.
i believe musk complained at least 2 occasions, against r/whitepeopletwitter and then in general. which led to more aggressive bans. whats new is that when they temporarily suspended, all your other accounts that participated in the same subs were also banned. plus shadowbans were also increasing as well.
Reddit started deploying thier AI moderation at the same time, which led to shadowbans and regular bans, which wernt appealable in most cases. they used to have a time limit when you were partially sub banned, and it were to wear off, but reddit/AI decided that the previous listed bans are considered ban evasions so all accounts tied to your IP, FINGERPRINT, device were instantly banned.
plus they also upped thier detection of non-propaganda bots ban evaders too(OF fans and link farmers). i have suspicion they largely ignore most propaganda bots. people using anti-detect software/ sophisticated proxies,etc.
because these other non-propaganda bots compete with the propaganda bots, and could drown out thier right wing or astroturfing messaging.
Aka less obnoxiously left-wing, so just more towards the centre. Sounds good.
it’s almost like every person in tech is clairvoyant…
The optimism of using the word might is doing some heavy lifting here.
its not a tiktok sale and i dont understand why media keeps repeating this. they’re licensing the algorithm to a new spun off us company silo’ed from the rest of the world.
also tiktok has been garbage slop forever anyway.
And CCP Military based in Beijing will still be maintaining it, they’re only moving it to a Cloud Server.
I think you just like saying the word ccp based military because nothing in your comment is correct. It is already hosted on Oracle cloud.
The algorithm used to be contained to a physical location in Beijing, now it’s going to be hosted on a server or group of servers in the USA, but the Chinese still administrate it.
I mean it already is the biggest superspreader of far right content in Europe and I would assume in the US as well. But please don‘t come with anecdotes about your TikTok experience because it‘s the most personalized content platform so it‘s irrelevant what your feed looks like right now. I‘m saying this because often times at least one TikTok user will rush in to defend the platform with their personal experience whenever this is brought up.
the thing is the gop could not control the messaging of tiktok, since it was owned by the CCP, so it was producing content against right wingers, they cant have that. its going to be like how youtube shoves youtube AI slop/right wing every chance they get.
The political part of my feed is pretty much hard left wing - but when I open the comments the top responders are the most right wing PoS’s I’ve ever seen. Which is so stupid because they’ll have max 200 thumbs up while a rational left wing respons will ratio them out of the water
thats astroturfing, the troll farms have thousands of bots that can do that at once.
It’s used to divide but I think it leans the opposite way in north America. The GOP wouldn’t have such a hate boner for it if it was pushing the same bullshit they are.
Hard to remember but I think a lot of pro Palestinian vids were on tiktok while the other social media sites were suppressing it when it all started. I only heard of this, I don’t have an account.
It’s leaning in Europe is well known though.

It was always Right Wing, it was controlled by CCP Military.

It’s still controlled by the CCP Military, they’re just migrating to a cloud server that Beijing still has full access to.
You think the Chinese Communist Party are right wing? Did I get that right?
Right Wing means Conservative, and the chinese dictatorship is extremely conservative.
They even favored Trump and the GOP during the US elections.
they probably preffered pedo taco because he is an idiot not becuase he pretends to be conservative
Why they preferred him doesn’t matter, what they claim is the reason to restrict rights and freedoms of their citizens doesn’t matter, the end result is conservativism.

Soooo any open source tiktok alternatives anyone can recommend?
Edit:
Found Some alternatives on https://alternativeto.net/:
Loops by Pixelfed, Vidzy, Olas (Very new), & Spark.so all seem interesting
May? Trump said he’s giving his son the CEO job.
and adding 150million into his bank account/investment portfolio.
I thought the nazi propaganda on the internet was annoying 20 years ago when I occasionally bumped into it. Now I’ll have to carefully curate the internet to not have to hear it constantly. Jfc.
Have you tried accommodation, no consequences and tolerance? Works every time toward fascists.
I’ve personally got a lot on my plate. In trying to survive. There was a time I was more active, but its a young man’s/woman’s game.
