Just curious if anyone knows if the platform has seen even more recent growth since now Tiktok is even more so a state owned social media platform?
Should we tell people Lemmy exists or is the organic slow growth much better long term?

TikTok almost singlehandedly turned American/Western opinions on Israel cause the genocide was being livestreamed and discussed openly, it makes sense.
That’s exactly why they decided it had to go and Trump and his goon squad hand picked the new owners. Remember he was fine with the Chinese ownership when he thought it was what got him the election. When it started turning opinions against the ruling class position is when he turned on it.
Talk about closing the barn door after the horse already bolted out.
Now it just looks like a flagrant admission of guilt. It’s actually rather pathetic.
Also both sides of the aisle were in on this. Democrats were also going after Tiktok.
It’s weird being a zoomer who doesn’t use tiktok and hearing that that’s pretty much the only reason most people oppose Israel. Kind of sad. I like to think that if tiktok had never existed we’d have made people aware in some other way.
