6 days ago | mod | Removed Comment according to [this](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/12/20/8-facts-about-americans-and-tiktok/) from Pew Research, a third of adults in the US use TikTok (based on a poll they conducted, because TikTok doesn't release user numbers publicly, and I doubt people would trust them if they did)
if your reaction to this is "oh all 100+ million of those people are idiots"...I dunno, congrats on thinking you're smarter than most people. have a gold star. go brag about your IQ and cranium volume on Twitter or something. this is just a relentlessly lazy and stupid take.
(and for the record, I don't use TikTok, or RedNote, so this isn't me taking it personally) by spit_evil_olive_tips@beehaw.org reason: don't feed |
6 days ago | mod | Removed Comment While I know that humor is subjective and you can interpret a single, isolated sentence in many ways, consider thinking about how serious a person actually was before aggressively accusing them of having a "relentlessly lazy and stupid take" on a topic. The fact that I used a humorous idiom might have been a hint. And yeah, I very much took this personally.
According to [this article on a Norwegian study with 50,000 participants](https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/not-joke-cost-being-humorless), being humorless has a significant impact on your long-term health and longevity. For the sake of your health, so that you can hurl unfounded accusations at me for many more years to come, have a laugh every once in a while. [Here's some Monty Python to get you started.](https://youtu.be/C-M2hs3sXGo)
To clear things up with you, I am of course not saying that all TikTok users are idiots - just most of them.
This was also a joke, by the way. It's based on the equally common and effective technique of surprising the reader with a humorous statement after having said something normal and serious. Before you're getting your panties in a twist, I am of course being condescending to make this funnier. Or maybe it's for some other reason? by DdCno1@beehaw.org reason: Be nice |

11 days ago | mod | Removed Comment I wonder if they have internal studies on how or if social contagion works. I mean they sure have the raw data from 2 decades and the competence to chew that data into results. These new decisions might very well be based on such studies.

12 days ago | mod | Removed Comment > the phenomenon of Western influencers profiting from spreading Chinese misinformation and disinformation is not new.
There are documented videos of Xinxiang being a bustling prosperous region with luxurious mosques. There are no videos of concentration camps. Instead of calling it misinformation to counter the narrative US empire prefers you to believe, it is not unreasonable for China to try and correct that narrative.
Its not as if western whinning/misinformation comes with any progress metrics for it to stop using it as an excuse to demonize China. by humanspiral@lemmy.ca reason: genocide denial |

Isn't it somewhat strange that Tiktok, whose parent company is forced to closely surveill and censor each politically undesired content in its home country, while it is at the same time not only unable to suppress but reportedly even promotes obviously harmful content on its platforms outside China? by tardigrada@beehaw.org reason: Not nice |

6 months ago | mod | Removed Comment You're exemplifying OP's #1 and #2: a black person, who's in a position to know what people will/won't take offence with (since she's a mod), is using the terms whitelist/blacklist, and telling you "it's fine".
But you're still trying to argue it on hypothetical grounds? Shut up and listen to her dammit. by Lvxferre@mander.xyz reason: no need to continue this argument. |
6 months ago | mod | Removed Comment Nobody here is omniscient nor implied to, it's just that she's in a considerably better position to know what should be offensive than either of us, as both part of the relevant community (black people) and someone dealing with people all the time.
>And I am allowed to express my opinion, with I did in a civilized manner. So you can take your “Shut up and listen to her dammit.”, **shove it up your ass and fuck off.**
I could turn your argument against you and say that, just like you feel entitled to express your "excuuuse me black people, you might be ignorant on what other black people should feel offended with, so let me drag down this discussion with this cacophony of hypotheticals", I'm also allowed to express my own.
I won't though - go read the text in the OP and you'll notice why I chose those specific words, even if they sound rude. You guys want to talk, talk, talk, but when black people talk you don't listen? In fact I already said too much. by Lvxferre@mander.xyz reason: time to disengage |
6 months ago | mod | Removed Comment She must be a god not a mod to know what all people take offence with, so what kind of argument is that supposed to be?
