Interesting, gotcha. I'm not a backend dev so I assume you have more info than I do on all this, just spitballing.

I'm curious on if it's possible to do multiple queues, and if not, to rate limit lemmy.world.

Advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, have called the bill "censorship plain and simple," arguing that "jeopardizing access to the platform jeopardizes access to free expression."

At 27 years old, Florida Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost is the youngest member of Congress, and he opposes the bill.

"I think that it is a violation of people's First Amendment rights," he said. "TikTok is a place for people to express ideas. I have many small businesses in my district and content creators in my district, and I think it's going to drastically impact them too."

The fact that Republicans started it is enough for me to be at least suspicious of why its even being considered.

EDIT: Also lol at "strong first amendment rights" when redneck states ban any books with queer or black characters. And lmao at "Strong first amendment rights" when people get fired for talking about forming a union, let alone even trying to make one.

Deleted/removed because I meant to reply to someone else.

My main reason is I'm an American, China (probably) can't do shit to me. But here I'm subject to so much shit America can do legally and illegally, with zero repercussions.

If China fucked me in particular over, odds are it would at least spark debate here. If America spied on my messages and stopped me from protesting something, that's just a Tuesday afternoon here.

The only reason why Congress wants to ban it, is due to pressure from news agencies and the government, because TikTok can't be controlled by the CIA. You can't manufacture consent of the people if the content comes from someone else you don't control.

They'll ban tiktok but won't punish overly aggressive police.

They'll ban tiktok but won't make food or rent affordable.

They'll ban tiktok but won't denounce Israel's bullshit.

They'll ban tiktok but won't cancel student loans.

They'll ban tiktok but won't take Covid seriously.

Maybe, I just wanted to see if you were and why, so maybe there was a chance on resolving it or not. Take care!

I never understand why in 2024 you'd buy nvidia, unless you like paying more for less, or buying from scalpers for even more money. I guess some people really just go "More money spent on it, more better" no matter what.

I can't find you in the Modlog for any actions but maybe I'm missing something, if you feel something happened feel free to email the mod team.

It's not a rule for us, just an injoke. The "rule" is post before you leave, not "every post must have rule". We also can't/don't ban people for not posting before you leave. We literally don't have that power at all, so we can't use it.

We actually made INGSOC from 1984 do it for us, we're very evil that way.

If you're talking about Lemmy's 196, it's not a rule and never was for us. "Post before you leave" is a "rule" but titling it rule is not. It's just an injoke.
