    I don’t love tiktok but it’s a fun platform and reddit users hating it are losers. This dude made his whole platform by sharing what’s happening in NC and the US on tiktok then voted to ban the very app he got all of his supporters from.

    He’s fake as hell.

      You sound like one of those people who would unironically say, “You hate our social system, yet you participate in it. Curious.”

      You can use a platform because that’s where the people are, while also agreeing the platform is destructive or invasive or whatever your criticism is.

      Even if you hate American democracy, for example, you can still vote. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite to pick your poison.

      Are you seeing what I’m getting at?

        You spent a lot of time typing an assumption on me without clearly getting my comment. Using a system to win then seeking to ban the system is not the same of any example you provided. If you just want to make a rude comparison then that’s it.

        Forcing a foreign tech company to sell to an American one because American gov only likes to steal our data isn’t any better…
