Yeah, the biases of TikTok are pretty clear.
But it’s also clear that western owned sites are filled with western propaganda. It’s insane how Zionist reddit appears, even when the demographic on reddit is actually much more progressive/left.
But people just get banned who post something critical and there are obvious bot farms heavily manipulating the voting there.
The same is true of the mainstream media.
I have therefore switched from being anti-TikTok to being pro-TikTok.
Lemmy is better, but only because it’s new and the powers-that-be haven’t really refined their approach. You can already see though that lemmy.world has changed, with people getting banned and such.
I had comments removed on lemmy.world that were very mild.
Which is why I moved to dbzer0.
Back to TikTok, if it takes an adversarial superpower to get back free speech in the West, then so be it.
