People need their slop!
Use loops instead!
What is loops?
Loops is a fediverse TikTok alternative made by Dansup.
Or we could fucking stop with the short form brain rot entirely...
Yeah right, you gonna ask people to not text and drive next? Get real
For a day or two? Why not? It would cripple the machinery and cost us little.
If course we should. Nobody should use that platform at all. My point was that people can't help themselves. Last time the US tried to ban it some kid burned down a congressman's office.
the same murdoch that owns the wall street journal he's suing?
And Fox News
The Wall Street Journal is a MAGA newspaper that happens to have some good journalists.
I mean, look at what they published over the last two decades:
There's no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to 'decarbonize' the world's economy.

Climate Science is not settled

Global warming doesn't matter. Contrary to the latest news, the evidence that global warming will have serious effects is thin.

The Climate-Change Religion
President Obama wrote in his proclamation for Earth Day on Wednesday. “As a Nation, we must act before it is too late.”
Obama is wrong. There is no reason to act.

No, climate change has not caused an increase in the frequency or intensity of floods, droughts, hurricanes and tornadoes. This is a false claim.

What is the origin of the false belief — constantly repeated — that almost all scientists agree about global warming?
There is actually no scientific consensus on global warming

I'm paying subscriber of the New York Times. I also read the Financial Times.
They really never published anything close to this garbage.
In 2012, the non-profit newsroom ProPublica revealed that Justice Clarence Thomas secretly took lavish trips with Billionaires. It was a huge story

The Wall Street Journal top editor lashed out:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/clarence-thomas-supreme-court-propublica-harlan-crow-1c4c2f41
This is the first time I see the editor of a newspaper publically attacking another newsroom for publishing a huge story.
I wouldn't wipe my ass with the WSJ. They have some great reporters that will privately tell you that they are really ashamed to work there. Rupert Murdoch keeps them around because he needs some people to subscribe and pay. No one will pay money to read non-sense every day. But these great reporters usually jump ship at any good opportunity they get.
Super, where are the epstein files?
All the ghouls.
“Leftist platform” my foot!
Nazi tiktok uber alles
It's too bad people won't leave the platform entirely.
And I know they won't do it in numbers enough to matter - just look at Xitter - it's been, what, 3 years since fElon seized that?
I will never understand why people willingly use TikTok.
Here's a theory. There is subset of people that doesn't like the "Big Tech" US tech companies. Using a Chinese company's software is a way to FU to the US companies, and who cares if China spies on you anyway, they're in China, not the US!
Just a theory though. Probably more related to herd mentality, like how long it took many to leave Twitter for better pastures and many still linger in that cesspool of hate and filth.
You can put sugar on a turd, you're still eating shit.
Is Michael Dell joining the fascist elite?
He who controls the algorithm controls the spice.
