Wow, looks like the facebook tactics are creeping in. Fb started notifying users to pull them back on the platform with "x person commented on y person's post (that you've never interacted with)", and half the time those notifications didn't link to the post, and you couldn't turn them off. I'm not sure how that brings people back at all.

I'm baffled by your blind faith in politicians. There's been clear foreign influence on just about every major social media platform.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/17/tech/tiktok-user-data-oracle/index.html Definitely, definitely correct. A company that's owned by a foreign nation shouldn't be a problem. And if you think that this doesn't set a precedent for banning anything politicians don't like, then I feel sorry for your naivety.

The US has control of US tiktok servers. This is bannable because politicians want the power to control social media.

Wouldn't that be nice, if the powers that be didn't grab for more power lol

If that was a catalyst for many others to do the same instead of an isolated incident, we wouldn't have called it an assassination. We would have called it a revolution. In the kind of time and society we find ourselves in, this is the closest we'll ever get to a revolution. And I say, viva la revolución!

I was on tiktok and even created for it for a bit, but it did get exhausting quickly after getting flooded with a painful amount of ads. I do like short form content though, I've been enjoying Loops!

These bans are bad. All it takes is for the US to think the fediverse is a threat and this goes too. You clearly don't like the platform and that's okay, but don't root for government censorship on the internet.

They're either willfully ignorant or blatantly lying if they think AI wasn't heavily used. There were so many Kamala deepfakes, including those really weird pornographic ones that conservatives were passing around, no doubt very insecure in their sexuality and hoping to find that in others as well.

This year in particular has just been a fucking awful job market. I lost my job in January and had severance last a couple months, but even after spending every day reading job boards and filing job applications until I was emotionally exhausted, I had zero callbacks for seven months. It was only a few months ago that I got two interviews, and I got offers from both. As soon as I accepted, I had some other companies suddenly crawling to me with offers. I'm still recovering from my debts accrued in that time, but I'm finally in a much better place now. Keep going at it, and I promise something will crack.

I had this kind of moment with Prey.
