Mods, enforce this.
Maybe they can finally improve the site instead of DMing me various Skyrim mods they want me to install to torment me.
lmao bro wtf, just ban the site permanently like come on it’s literally a public safety issue
They should throttle traffic to it permanently and allow for a domestic alternative to appear.
For that to really succeed I think you’d need the size and planning of China.
Why? There’s no need for it to be international. Twitter for Venezuelans run by a Venezuelan company would be fine.
A) because Venezuela didn’t start this before the Bad Apps got entrenched, and B) because Venezuela has about the same population as just Shanghai alone.
I’m not following why either of these things prevent it. The entire point of throttling the service is so that it degrades it so much that people migrate to your alternative. This is precisely what Russia is doing to replace youtube with a domestically operated version. Yes Russia is much larger but this doesn’t change much, smaller country will have smaller running costs to run the service.
The timing because all these blocks can be trivially VPN’d around by anyone who cares to, even China’s. But most Chinese people don’t bother because by the time the bad apps took over the world China already had its alternatives up and running. And the size because social media, especially the mega world eating social media like Twitter and the Facebook properties like Whatsapp, are all about the network effect. All the reasons nobody gives a shit about Bluesky or Mastodon would go tenfold, a hundredfold, as much for a Venezuela-only Twitter competitor.
Make it permanent, coward
Should just ban that piece of shit website permanently
Is Weibo only?
It’d be dope if they end up making a Spanish language version with a userbase all over South/Central America and the Caribbean and gets so mad he actually fights and Maduro kills him in the ring like he’s Ivan Drago
You can browse Weibo from anywhere. I’m not certain about making accounts though, some of the Chinese sites I use require mainland China phone numbers, so I never even tried with Weibo.
Only 10 days?
Critical support means critical support.
UNFATHOMABLY based.

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
What’s your thoughts on this one @Railcar8095@lemm.ee? Wasn’t Facebook undermining democracy in 2016?
Really normal behavior, nothing to see here.
this, but unironically
every country should ban twitter
More countries in the global south should ban western social media since most of it is now just fascist state propaganda apparatuses anyway.
YES MOTHERFUCKER! There is nothing to see here, it should be normal to ban neo-nazi pedo sites, when’s the last time you saw anyone bring up 8chan and mourn it’s near universal banning
Dumbass lemmyite dipshit chirping about when hate crimes and pogroms have been organized and cheered on by that shithole, fuck you nazi lover
Wow, what a normal reaction.
Yes dumb fuck it is a normal reaction, but you keep cheering on the world’s most famous neo-nazi site, as if it’s totally normal to be A FAN of twitter these days lmao
Yeah, it’s normal, keep on licking the boots of the cryptofascist piece of shit Musk.
We go extra here, binch. As soon as I log on it’s basically just tears and screaming until I’m forced to make a new account due to tyrannical mods the next day.
That’s a reaction.
Elon Musk, champion of free speech and unbiased reporting
It’s good actually, every country should do the same except permanently.
I wish it was
