TikTok being banned is good. Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter should be banned as well. Closed, source, manipulative and harmful algorithms should be banned and these apps all use dark patterns in their design.
The fediverse and open social networks where the algorithms are open source and well understood and the user is allowed to choose their own algorithms is the only safe way to use social media.
Trump may even welcome that, considering that Truth Social is just Mastodon.
isn't it a mastodon fork?
and considering it's probably blocked by like 98% of the fediverse, i don't think he likes it very much
@[email protected] is it still a fork? It thought it started that way to get something done quickly, but thay they moved to a proprietary platform. I could be wrong, but do have any info on instances blocking Truth Social? Are the instances that don't block Truth Social?

Almost nobody blocks Truth Social. Everyone seems more preoccupied with blocking Threads over actual far right content.
