So I’m part of a discussion about moderation on lemmy.ml, and it seems better to ask the community directly instead of continuing to speculate from a distance: What’s the attitude here towards political debate and specifically criticism of the Chinese government? Is that allowed, or will mods delete it?

    I don’t care about criticizing China, but my brother in christ, the “genocide” lie was debunked so long ago, that it doesn’t surprise me that China supporters get pissed every time they see someone still spreading that.

      Sure you don’t. And yes I forgot, those Uyghurs just fell down the stairs ¯⁠\⁠_⁠༼⁠ ⁠•́⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ ⁠༽⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      I love how specific this got, I didn’t even mention or refer to china specifically. There are quite a few communist regimes and genocides to choose from.

        Uyghurs falling down stairs? I would love to read more on that very serious and real problem. Oh, and how could I have guessed you were talking about the exact same subject of the comment you were replying to? Very specific indeed.

        Anyway, now I see you’re just a troll purposefully spreading sinophobia, sorry for misjudging your character for someone well intended before.

          I’m sure they have a story on the topic in your party’s newspaper.

          It is not against chinese people/sinophobia to criticise the chinese totalitarian government. But you useful idiots don’t seem to grasp/pretend not to grasp that distinction.
