Possible Tiktok ban in US and Elon continues to make Twitter user experience worse

US congress voting today to attempt to force parent company of Tiktok, Bytedance, to divest from the company (aka sell it to an American company/put it under American ownership) or app will be banned in 6 months and taken off Apple Store and Google store. Reason given is national security and link to CCP.

My thoughts: They'll never say this but I think this has to do with the fact that most users of Tiktok are young people who are pro-Palestinian and this is a way of stopping them from spreading anti-Israel talking points. Jewish community members like Sasha Baron Cohen, showed up to tiktok headquarters to request they do something about antisemitism.


Meanwhile on Twitter, Elon confirms he will get rid of the number likes and reposts from showing on the timeline. You will only be able to see them when you click on the post.


My thoughts: It's going to be harder to see if you ratio'd someone so the dopamine that most twitter users get by dunking on people will be gone.

Who would have thought in 2024.... Rumble & SSpot are the last remnants of freespeech on the world wide web.

Only issue has always been SSpot gotta move to app man, cant believe I'm logging onto forums like its 2000's somnet.

Yeah, for SSpot to do that, it would probably have to use Tapatalk or something, but I do like the fact that it's not an app, it gets too cluttered on my phone.

I think people are tired of the big social media apps, the user experience on all of them is crappy. Lots of bots, misinformation, and ragebait. My prediction is people will start to migrate out to smaller apps and forums.

Time to say goodbye to your favorites folder and your extensive collection. My condolences on your loss, sahib.

I'm so happy for the Somalis back home though, they can do their fitna in peace without attention-seeking American Somalis translating their ceeb for views. Huge win!

Inshallah, if the US bans it a lot of other countries will feel bold enough to do it. I know Somalia and Kenya were both considering it last year.
