    TikTok removes pro gay and pro trans content too, so… you can be against the US republicans and yet another evil corporation.

      No, no it doesn’t. Tiktok has a bigger lgbtq+ creator presence than YouTube or Facebook.

          As someone that actively uses Tiktok, no, no it doesn’t remove lgbtq+ content for being lgbtq+. I have no doubts some creators screech about censorship because their nearly nude thirst traps got deleted; but pride is covered every year and at least a few thousand trans creators exclusively owe their treatment payments due to Tiktok giving them a platform and actively boosting them.

      Yeah, I know…

      just like I voted for Hillary, Joe, and Kamala…

      Is TikTok perfect?

      Obviously not.

      But look at comments on Instagram these days on any post having anything to do with a minority, and the comments all just “jokes” with blatant hate speech.

      That’s Tom Segora, he’s kind of a dick and he’s friends with Joe Rogan. Which is the point.

      Even people that lean right think it’s gone to far, and it’s going to keep getting worse.

      People don’t want unmoderated social media, and as bad as TikTok is, right now it’s the best moderated “big” social media. It’s just a very low bar, and it makes zero sense to start with them.
