I don't think "Tankies" think that either? Or I don't know who you mean. I don't see anyone on .ml or lemmygrad or HexBear calling Russia left or saying Putin is a good leader that should be emulated.
I saw it because I'm an instance admin and I can see the content of removed comments by default. (And can unremove them but that only affects my instance if the comment is on another)
I visited Cuba some months ago. Amazing what they can and have done better than supposedly "first world" countries like the US in terms of healthcare, houselessness, etc. Of course they also have many issues but almost all of them can be traced to the blockade.
The blockade is utterly indefensible. A crime against humanity.
People really cheering this? I don't like TikTok because I don't much care for that style of short form video - but let's not act like it would be better under US tech giant control. Worse, I'd say.
Officials say Chinese authorities can compel ByteDance to hand over information on TikTok's U.S. patrons
Oooooh scaaaaary. I'd feel much safer having it under the control of a government who actually affects my life. 🙄
