Does anybody have any sources disproving the Tianenmen Square hoax? My mother keeps repeating disinformation, and I’m trying to correct her. Any sources would be very much appreciated.

    Hey just an FYI to everyone, the genzedong mods are banning people for being mean to sinophobes from other Lemmy instances now, so that’s cool. Same reddit bullshit, smaller pond.

      I did that, and its because you continue to break rule 3, be respectful to comrades. This isn’t reddit where they let everyone be a dick to each other and make every space miserable. You can either wait out your two day ban, or you can go back to reddit where they let you be shitty to other communists.

          Hehe, try not to plz, just report the comments. We want this to have a healthy and welcoming atmosphere for all comrades.

          Side point but many years ago on reddit’r r/communism, the atmosphere was so awful and combative that I really didn’t want to meet any of those ppl in person. That’s pretty sad for a movement that needs to be built on comradery and trust.

          You’re not going to be banned for it, but try not to… we already have downvotes and reports. It’d be really annoying if this place turned into reddit or chapo where its just endless chains of childish bickering.

        some cryptobro from another lemmy doing ‘china bad because wikipedia’ isn’t a comrade, though. if we’re just gonna let those people talk all the shit they want and be nice to them, that’s just liberalism where civility maters more than message. I mean I’ll wait it out, but I’m not sure why we’re supposed to show deference to people who come in with ill intent.

          You couldn’t even bother to go through the history of the person you’re screaming at, clearly they aren’t a sinophobe.

      Hi, I’m one of the people you were apparently given a 2 day ban for “being mean” to (you replied “lmao using wikipedia as a source, dumbest fucking cracker” to me). fwiw imo i’m pretty far from being a sinophobe; by default I assume the things they’re accused of in the west are information warfare from the US. i guess you probably wouldn’t object to me linking to wikipedia when i’m posting things you presumably agree with like this comment about the falun gong?
