Although I do wish that profiles and comment history could be preserved from one server to another. That's basically the last piece of the puzzle that would give the user a completely a completely free experience.
Something like an independent third party data bank that saves profile data? So your user data would be publicly accessible - any server can access it to populate your profile on that server - but nobody can update or delete it but you?
Shit, have we found an actual use case for blockchain?
Honestly, I don't think they really understand why they're there.
They're in their twenties. Some of them are college students. I think at least one is a literal teenager.
Musk chose these children because they don't have the life experience to understand the consequences of their actions.
Cut billions of dollars in aid to the poorest people in the world? Without having any authority to do it? An average person would stop and think "how many people are going to die from this?" Or, more selfishly, "what consequences will I face in the future if I do something so fundamentally evil?" Or, more practically, "is what I'm doing legal, and will Trump and Musk throw me under the bus and claim I acted without orders if I get criminally charged for this?"
These kids aren't thinking about long-term consequences. They're thinking "the richest man in the world chose me to transform America and I have to live up to his expectations".
Blind loyalty. That's it.
It's why armies recruit men young.
And shit, if that isn't the most ironic thing I've heard in years ...
Lol, no. The US, China, and the billionaire caste, they already have all our personal data they want, because every app you run sells your personal info to thousands of data brokers who sell it to whoever wants it.
Banning TikTok is like taking off your shoes at the TSA. It's performative nonsense that inconveniences ordinary citizens and does nothing to protect anybody.
So if people want to raise a middle finger to the US government to protest its meaningless xenophobic virtue signaling, more power to them.
