      How so? I don’t have Tik Tok so I’m not sure what I might be missing.

      Probably not that many. I hate his guts and I just followed because I need good seats to the shit show that’s about to happen.

      All of them practically.

      The ones that aren’t bots are moron followers that might as well be bots at this point. Imagine following the guy that Russia roots for… It’s pathetic.

        I can see a few legit users following him just out of curiosity to see what kinda shit he pulls, though I imaging a number of those unfollowing once they inevitably get sick of his shit. Or maybe they would follow him to enable another stunt like when all those kids bought out a Trump rally 2x over and just didn’t show up, leaving the venue almost completely empty on live TV after they had set up all those extra seats

      It would be nice if you could block everybody who follows someone you blocked, specifically because of “celebreties” like this.

      I don’t actually have tiktok, but like, in general

    Calling it here: if the TikTok ban actually starts, he’ll whine he’s being persecuted and they’re out for him, even though he knew about the bans possibility long in advance.

        Far-right and far-left are just one step close.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
