  • Thank you for taking the time to reply!

    I understand the retaliatory bullshit would definitely scare more people than we should allow. Say your entire department decides “Fuck that. I’m taking my two days off.”, what would that do as a whole? Would they retaliate on all the people or just the ones who they know need a job more than others?

    I’m not dumb and think that that’s even possible, because organizing is a lot harder than we’d all like to admit. I’m just genuinely curious about how that would work out long term I guess.

    You don’t have to reply or anything, and I hope I’m not coming off any type of way. I just can’t believe this is something they thought was a good idea.

    Thank you! :)











  • Well, considering I’m on iOS and gave it no access to anything, and I would never use it to upload anything to begin with, these issues do not pertain to me. I don’t link accounts on it, and the email is a burner email that iOS made for me to specifically use for that app.

    I think a lot of these privacy concerns are more for people who actually want to use it for posting or making videos. Then I would be worried about all the data. I give them nothing, no real names or anything. So, I would say I’m okay. 👍

  • Let me just say that I learned more useful and interesting things than I ever did on any other social media platform to date. I also haven’t had a Facebook insta or any of that ilk since 2015. Reddit, then TikTok, then here at Lemmy is all I’ve had since then.

    I found lots of videos giving me awesome facts about animals I never learned in school or elsewhere! (A opossum is naturally immune to rabies and is actually good for your wildlife area!)

    I learned multiple ways to make things easier on myself, some being: car maintenance, cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, acceptance of others and of myself, and laws and politics (that they then give you multiple sources for or show you the website or place they got their info) just to name a few!

    While I still get videos that I find funny, most of them have been actually beneficial to me which I couldn’t believe I had been hating on TikTok for so long because I thought it was just dumbass pranks or mindless drivel like “satisfying” videos or whatever.

    I’m not saying use it, because I haven’t in a few weeks, but it can actually give you really good and quality content.





  • Don’t you guys get tired of fighting for rights that were already fought for, just to have another generation fight for those same fucking rights? After a certain point, I’d rather just give up than keep this seemingly never ending cycle of bullshit going. What point is there in fighting for rights now, no matter how much they are truly needed, just to have to fight for them in less than 5 years because some batshit crazy psychopath took the position of the less batshit crazy psychopath who vehemently didn’t want to give you those rights, so they made them easy to take back for the next guy or maybe a guy later to take back. It’s just seems pointless at times. I’m still trying and fighting, but I wonder if we are just prolonging the inevitable. Maybe humanity isn’t as great as we thought, and people truly are more evil than good.
