This post was initially removed for posting unsubstantiated claims. But a better approach would be for people to verify these claims themselves and report back. There have been signs that some of this might be happening, but it's not really clear yet.

All of this is bad but what particularly stands out is that criticism of a rival social media parent company is removed. That's uh pretty telling they're either being bought by them or bending the knee in a kind of agreement to no competition, no defending yourself, no shitting on American companies, allowed type arrangement which really is more like full prostration head to the ground than kneeling come to think of it. Hopefully it implodes.

Free Luigi

I left a free Luigi comment on a Luigi video. We'll see if it gets removed.

This video was posted 22m ago, is tagged #freeluigi

Update

i have appealed this and am waiting to see the result. Im going to go back to the video and leave a comment asking if it was reported by the owner.

From the comments:

I've had free Luigi comments get removed for months

Yeah this I believe. This was happening on reddit too. This narrative that tiktok is different now is pure lib shit. They are panicking.

Tinfoil hat: unsubstantiated theory I came across was that the outage was due to a server migration to Meta owned servers

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

That makes enough sense for me

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 34 points 1 week ago

I just want to point out a lot of this is unsubstantiated. People thought Facebook created an account after the outage. That account was from 2022. People thought Facebook put out a friends importer after the tiktok outage, that also has been around for a while.

Most of these are people seeing what they want to see. Or seeing things that were always true that they never bothered to look at before.

Liberals are facing the consequences of their unprincipled action and are only now awaking out of their political coma. They are looking to see all the signs that their brunch is truly over. Do not fall pray to their hysteria.

It's too late because the people are already flocking over to rednote and getting radicalized.

A distressing amount of people instantly went back the moment they could, and will probably stay.

[-] SaniFlush@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

those ones were just doing it for the meme

[-] very_poggers_gay@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

same could be said for those who downloaded xiaohongshu

i really doubt the average american would willingly stay on a platform where like 99% of the userbase does not communicate in english

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Not too surprising. TikTok is the bigger app and most were going to return as soon as it came back. Being able to make money on it is a big incentive.

Lives were down because the services were still down.... Lives work fine.

This is lib shit. If you have tiktok and haven't verified these for yourself, you are not being objective.

tiktok has always flagged free luigi, and it's always hosted nazi shit shrug-outta-hecks

none of this is substantiated or true, every supposedly removed term on this list ive searched and found

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

So much for the free speech right.

typo of WLW (women loving women) - copy-pasting from the OP reveals it's a lowercase l and not an I

(A Cincinnati radio station does incidentally also appear as the top Google result, though the following several results reference the queer terminology.)

[-] HexReplyBot@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.

[-] VHS@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

weird capitalization, but it's WLW for women loving women (lesbian, bi, etc.)

[-] stigsbandit34z@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

TikTok is officially tic tac toe a winner

good-morning

Fascism can still be searched for...

Interesting that you're also the user saying TikTok has no fed influence despite having "ex-cia" content managers.

I've got my eye on you

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah, I was wrong about that.

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

I wonder how much of this was dictated to Chew in a perfect phone call

[-] Pili@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I've been moderated for calling someone racist a very long time ago already.

[-] JakenVeina@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

So thaaaaaaaat's why Trump agreed to not enforce the ban.

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

This is not substantiated. Verify them yourself.
