If these instructions are risky for you of course don't do it.

For sure, I'd much rather people join Lemmy. I just figured might as well do everything we can to reduce how many people link to fake news and tabloid type website even on platforms we don't personally use/like. The less traffic those websites get the less ad revenue they get.
The message the TikTok app displays stoops to a new low to pander to Trump.
It's no wonder why Trump all of a sudden wants to "save" TikTok:

This one is especially damning:
TikTok is spending $50,000 on an inauguration party honoring influencers who helped Donald Trump spread his campaign message, according to the party organizer — and it’s scheduled for Sunday, the deadline for the company to spin off from its China-based owner or be banned in the U.S.
CEO Shou Zi Chew is expected to attend.
I did some research and now I know why Trump wants to "save" TikTok.

We can learn from history. The people have more access to information than ever before. If we teach people how to put that information to good use instead of sharing propaganda we can stop it this time.
The more people that express negative sentiment the harder it will be for them to go after people. It's your first amendment right, use it. Don't comply in advance.

No wonder why Trump wants to "save" TikTok. It has the stuff Republicans crave.
I didn't know Mike Pence or Mike Johnson had a Lemmy account.
That is awesome!!! That's how it should be done!
Of course, I wish people would be here instead of Reddit. I just figure we might as well try. It doesn't cost anything to copy and paste and press message the moderators. I doubt moderators would be considered problematic for doing this.
And this will lower my grocery prices how?
Of course we should take Trump's threats seriously. For example one reason for Russia's invasion into Ukraine may have been to distract Russians from domestic issues like repression of their rights and a bad economy. So distractions can have real consequences but we must not forget about the things Trump wants us to forget like his crazy cabinet picks and the fact that he retracted his promise to lower grocery prices and the fact that he's going to possibly create a huge humanitarian crisis if he does a mass deportation.
Note that I don't have a problem with anyone's immigration status except Musk's simply due to hypocrisy because he is railing against immigration when he himself is likely an illegal immigrant. I just think it's funny that conservatives always say that immigrants are ruining the country but they have the wrong people identified as the problem.
I heard that Tesla lies about the range, it's lower than they say.
