Celebrating the government banning an app is kind of weird to me. Like I get not wanting to use the app but we shouldn’t really be psyched about the government deciding what kind of social avenues are available to us. Especially when X and Meta are allowed to continue operating how they always have been.

I feel like I'm reading reddit pre 2016 in your post. I can't wait until somebody buys out the current ownership of this site and returns reddit to what it used to be. Simping for censorship reeks of government interference and political party manipulation.
