That wasn’t a reluctance to look at info it was a pouty baby not wanting to click a link to a different social media site. Damn. Y’all really are no different from reddit. I think I’m done with this place. If I want to be surrounded by a bunch of dweebs with a superiority complex I’ll just go back to reddit. At least they have content.

I think y’all have shown that you lack reading comprehension and desperately need to feel superior but ok. Honestly lemmy users are just redditors with a somehow bigger superiority complex

They are not in the driving test even now in my city lol. Even if they were, we renew our licenses every like 50 years it’s ridiculous. The four roundabouts placed randomly around town are legit just hazards because people don’t know wtf they’re doing

Talking about due diligence when you don’t even know where I’m from and couldn’t even possibly know this about every city 🙄

It’s almost like just plopping them into places with people that have never even seen them isn’t a great idea. My city randomly has a couple in busy spots and it’s always a shitshow with people coming across them unexpectedly. They did nothing to prepare people for dealing with them they just built them in 🙄

Nobody got an email. You don’t know shit.

I never denied they sent a notification to people in the app. It offered to help get in touch with local reps. Why would people exercising their rights to communicate with politicians bother you in any way? That’s weird.

Messaging out of laziness? What does that even mean? They were calling their local reps to voice their discontent.

The people addicted comment just makes you look petty and ignorant. It might be time for you to graduate to Facebook.

How are they being harmed? Why was it so easy for them to make you believe this? Also, who asked you to protect anyone with your one petty little email lmao

Personalized feed? What? I’ve never heard of anything like that

Whaaat? Nooo. Remember that time we banned straws and it was gonna be the big push we needed to start real change but then everyone just predictably patted themselves on the back and did basically nothing ever again? 😀

It’s genuinely embarassing to see people here behaving this way. And disappointing.

Oh no… Someone that was told the opinion they should have about tiktok years ago never bothered to think about it for more that five seconds before repeating it

Did it hurt? Becoming a boomer.

Why would I care? Is it somehow better for google or facebook to profit off of my data? China doesn’t even solely own the app. They don’t even own enough of the app to censor it and so it’s banned in China lmao

They also claimed that it was only “old people and teenagers” who were calling in and objecting which wasn’t true. One rep stood up and straight up lied claiming that TikTok users were “forced” to call. How would that even work? TikTok possibly being banned isn’t a lie but all that other shit sure was. It was just a popup offering to help locate local reps to call and make their voices heard. The fact that any of you are pretending that people taking this democratic action is a bad thing is appalling and your bias is blatantly obvious. The absolute ego on all of you to act like you just know better than all of those other people because… Reasons? Ridiculous.

Ok, sure. Show me what research you or they have done to justify “protecting them from themselves”. Already they’re telling lies by insinuating that only teenagers and old people are calling. And you all just believe it? Wild how biased people can be when presented with information they want to believe.

You’re not doing it to protect people. It’s ridiculous that you’d even pretend to be.

The fact that you guys just ate up that rhetoric without any hesitation… Like, you just happily believe it’s a bunch of “addicted old people and teenagers”? Is this reddit? Did I make a wrong turn at common sense and critical thinking?

It’s not just teenagers and old people. That’s just some bullshit rhetoric that you ate right up without question. Because of course you did. Millennials/middle age folk are abundant on TikTok as well as young adults.

The audacity of some of you to jump into action just to spite “teenagers and old people” is shameful. So easily manipulated.

I told you in plain words how I feel about tipping culture. How you choose to interpret that is your business.

I don’t need you to lecture me about what goes on in my own country or about how we feel because you’re not even talking from experience. Go ahead and “fight capitalism” by stiffing people on tips if it makes you feel better. You’re not helping anyone though so stop fooling yourself. You’re just being cheap.
