I upgraded his ban from 15 days to permanent because clearly a 15 day ban is not going to do anything to prevent him from coming back with the same behaviour. Also very likely he was intentionally saying all that to get a rise out of everyone else, which constitutes trolling which is a no-warning ban usually.
"The Western Corporate Media often claims that “North Korea prosecutes (or even executes) its people for watching South Korean dramas.”
It’s hard to ascertain if that’s actually the case, as fake news about North Korea is the norm. The only allegations of this phenomena come from unreliable defector testimony of known liars (like Park Yeon Mi), who are rewarded for telling hyperbolic lies; or from dubious South Korean sources like the rightwing Chosun Ilbo.
These hyperbolic claims are then amplified by right wing anti-communist organizations (like Liberty in North Korea) and the US MSM.
However, contrary to these dubious claims, we can ascertain with certainty that South Korea does prosecute people for screening North Korean films.
In fact, it’s not an exaggeration to say that much of what South Korea accuses North Korea of doing can actually be attributed right back to South Korea. In other words, these claims are projection—not cinematic, but psychological."

Failure to provide your child an extremely low risk and proven to be safe over many decades preventative medicine for a horrible deadly disease that affects not only your own child but everyone around them, and barring any allergies or other conditions that legitimately exempt your child from receiving it, should be considered a textbook case of child abuse under the law and an instant “you’re not fit to be a parent” ruling with foster services getting involved. I’d even say this is not just child abuse but negligent homicide/attempted homicide of both your child and anyone else they come in contact with.
There is no room for tolerance of antivaxxers here. It takes just one antivaxxer to potentially kill hundreds or thousands of people, or in the worst case set humanity’s medical advancement back decades. You take the proven safe vaccine, period.
As mentioned before I am okay with it!
Edit: we are planning deletion because people can still comment even when set to “mod-only”. They just can’t post. But if you really want to keep one of your community/ies we can work something out.
A point worth noting is that deleting a community hides the posts, they are still accessible with the direct link or if the community is ever undeleted. Assuming you mean just the remove button. If you issue a backend command and actually delete from the database then obviously they’re permanently deleted.
Personally, I recommend just shelving the communities until Lemmy has a proper archive community option, that way the posts can be brought back as readonly later since a lot of good discussions went on in those threads that would be a shame to permanently lose.
The only VPN I’ve used that has am endpoint inside Mainland China is PIA (at least they did when I used it), but may not fit your criteria for privacy/ethics because they’ve had some BS stunts over the years.
If you’re mainly wanting to watch Chinese shows, many, but not all Mainland streaming sites are also accessible from Hong Kong, and a lot more Western VPNs have HK endpoints. It depends on what you want to watch and usually what kind of copyright/licensing the media has in terms of where it can stream (I never really understood why sites can have the copyright to stream in the Mainland but not HK/Macau since they’re officially part of China too). Definitely get one with a free trial or money back guarantee in case the website you want needs Mainland proper and not HK.

~~So it seems like this community will one of the ones where all the other shit_____say communities get merged into. In preparation for that and the incoming rise in traffic, we should have a few more mods here to make sure things run smoothly and keep reactionaries out (ironic). Anyone interested? Comment below. Looking specifically for users with reasonably active accounts and a reasonably long history of posting Marxist/ML content, either on Lemmygrad or on another instance.~~
Edit: nevermind, plans changed. Apply to ShitReactionariesSay instead.
If I had some time to kill, between classes for example, I’d go talk him up and pretend to be really interested in joining the army but also super oblivious to literally all the concepts. Make him waste his time instead of potentially using it on people that can be preyed on.
I do this with the JWs and Mormons in my city. As well as the occasional Falun Gong guy (I’m Chinese and speak Mandarin so I’m prime target to get approached by them)

It's already a red flag when a factory/workshop has one of these days without injury things, it's a deep, blood stained scarlet flag when this isn't on a whiteboard, not on a piece of paper, hell not even on a simple plaque with changeable number inserts, but a fully printed and laminated metal sign with an electronic counter.

Personally, I think she shouldn’t be on YouTube for a completely different reason. The internet is actually unsafe for children that young and there are a lot of disgusting pervs on YouTube. You’re not supposed to be on social media till you’re 13, and I think even that is too young, a safer age is probably 15 or 16.
And as we’ve seen here, if you’re from a country the west hates, you’re a target. Even if you’re a child. Not against people in the DPRK posting to YouTube, obviously, but for their safety it should be limited to full adults only.
