Can't wait to not use this

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Out of curiosity, what's in that app? Like videos and shit? Or just normal shitter?

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] penquin@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Of what? Like their members posted videos? I genuinely don't know, as I don't have shitter

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Basically a lot of shows by former Fox News hosts and other far right vodcasters who are too extreme to be promoted on more mainstream platforms.

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ok, so all the crazy outcasts whose garbage no one wants to hear/see? Got it. Good thing I don't have shitter, shit like this bothers me for real. Lol

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Unfortunately a bunch of people do want to see that shit.

[–] c0smokram3r@midwest.social 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fascist/right-wing bullshit. You’re not missing out on anything.

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

So, Alex Jones and his likes? 😂

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Out now? Then what's this XVideos app on my TV?

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 0 points 2 months ago

It's porn. In fact, it's porn all the way down.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I used a burner account that wasn't following many users, and the videos the X TV app offered me on first viewing includes a Megyn Kelly video accusing Tim Walz of committing “stolen valor,” a report from right-wing social media influencer Andy Ngo and Carlson’s fawning interview with historian Darryl Cooper who performs some revisionist history by calling Winston Churchill “the chief villain of the Second World War.”

I'm honestly surprised they're outright saying the Allies were the villains now...

Like, it's almost enough for me to try and Google the "historian" to see if she thinks Russia or the Nazis were the good guys.

You'd think they wouldn't push Russia because back then they claimed to be communist, but it's not like logical consistency matters to them. They like Russia now, so they could very well claim Russia was always the good guys.

Or they could just be more blatantly pro Nazi then they used to be.

it's not like logical consistency matters to them.

In fact, fascists see the ability to just say whatever gets them the most power in the moment as a strength. They're not held back by "weaknesses" like truth and facts

All that matters to them is power

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

They think that believing ridiculous things is a virtue, and they get training on how to do so every Sunday.

[–] pandapoo@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

Winston Churchill was a certainly villain council member in his day, just maybe not the chief villain of WWII.

Shocked I tell you. I am shocked.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

isn't it basically the old twitter app with less content people would actually want to watch and more rubbish partisan political content?

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There was a Twitter app for Android TV?

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

apple tv and android; the android one launched in 2016ish

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago
[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago

Just don't use that cancerous platform.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 0 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Why use the app, when you can use the web interface on any browser? https://www.xvideos.com/

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Hey now, how dare you compare that disgusting filth to pornography!

[–] vanontom@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I'm surprised Xvideos is still viewable in "Tread on me, daddy!" states like Texas. (Maybe Paxton really thought it was Elen's homemade porn site? Just kidding, it's Czech owned, they can just ignore his fines. Paxton is killing American jobs, confirmed.)

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's a ridiculous amount of porn sites out there. Banning the big daddy Pornhub is just going to drive people to those who are generally less moderated, or teach them how to bypass such blocks - which maybe teaches some folks some media competency again.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pornhub wasn't banned from Texas; it banned states like Texas, Florida, and Kentucky from access because of their ridiculous "must put self on government list to see porn" laws.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 0 points 2 months ago

Same difference. There's bans or talks about bans like this in other countries too, for the same reasons basically.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

Well for one because my work is blocking your link. I've requested they remove it from the block list though. I'm not in fucking Brazil!

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No no, that has considerably less offensive content.

[–] ulkesh@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Strange, I didn’t even have to try it out to know that it’s garbage.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My condolences to the people who have to install it to write an article about it.

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

At least they get a chance to leave a 1 star review on their way out.

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Let me guess, the content is: blatant nazi propaganda, shilling of shitcoins, and advertising for the stupidest implementation of the most dystopian technology you can think of.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Don’t forget the ruzzian psy ops

[–] geography082@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

It’s good to see both sides of the cake. Personally I like to peep both X and mastodon . The contrasts tells me were we are at.
