It's possible for platforms under the influence of the Chinese government and right wing American billionaires to both have harmful censorship.
That was the point of the reply wasn't it? Maybe I assume too much of them.
Nah, the point of the reply was supposed to be "America bad", despite most of us clearly recognizing "Elon bad".
I interpreted it as:
haha Chinese censorship
Right here too
The reply just pointed out the hypocrisy of the original poster.
(As in "here you are a willing participant in a forum were censorship is just as bad complaining about how there is this other forum were censorship is bad")
But... But... the Tankies told me I had to choose!
What do you mean right wing America bad and China also bad?! But which team are you on then?! Someone tell me which crimes to excuse and which to condemn! /s
I am sure cisgender (éĄșæ§ć«) and other genders are at least shadow-banned on red note. Honestly, I have not heard this word for my entire Chinese-speaking life, until one of my LGBT friend mentioned it.
Everyone knows China is a progressive communist/socialist country that recognizes genders :)
I've come across plenty of LGBT content on REDnote in my short time so far
Crazy thought: What if both platforms are bad?
If you cannot host it, you cannot own it. If you cannot own it, it's not resistant to censorship.
Man on floating whale corpse: "Your boat stinks!"
Man on burning garbage scow: "What?"
Yeah, their censorship is cruel and tragic.
But our censorship is cheeky and fun.
/s because unfortunately it's necessary
Chinese shenanigans
Has Lemmy just been completely flooded with CCP apologists now?
RedNote ToS includes provisions that require you to post "correct views on history, nationality, state, or culture".
I guess if you believe Taiwan should be "returned" to the mainland, Uhghurs deserve to be "re-educated" and enslaved, and that China is the natural and rightful pre-eminant global power... you're gonna be fine.
I took it as "don't pretend we don't have censorship too"
Saying "there is censorship here" in no way implies "there is not censorship there"

Damn that private company implementing Terms of Service to limit discourse to historically accurate topics of conversation. Now I'll never get Wuhan Lableak blurbs and weird religious propaganda injected into my video feed.

I mean, what gives the US the right to encircle Taiwan with its Navy? Why were we so fervent in defending the right of Afghani teenager girls to obtain an education, but so cavalier in denying it to Uighur girls threatened by the same Islamic radicalism just on the other side of the Afghan/China border? How do we have US Senators and CENTCOM chiefs debating the best method for severing Chinese exports from the international markets, while asserting the threat of Chinese global supremacy?
It's all upsidedown and backwards in America-World. If you want to talk about Chinese global hegemony, consider the methods at their disposal. To quote Dr Lubinda Haabazoka, Director of the University of Zambia Graduate School of Business and former President of the Economics Association of Zambia
Every time China visits we get a hospital, every time Britain visits we get a lecture.
Found the China zealot. Do you get paid or is this just for the love of the party?
Mostly no (I hope), weâre just laughing at americans literally not being able to read anything soaked with propaganda and switching from one source to another.
Ccp apologists can suck Winnies dick
Pretty sure Lemmy has always been full of people who support freedom of speech, open internet, internationalism, anti-censorship, etc.
It's got nothing to do with "apologizing" for some state targeted by this wacko genocidal empire.
Yeah, but Rednote censorship is bad because ~communism~ whilst Twitter's censorship is fine because it's the 100% Capitalist Free Market situation of a billionaire buying (using, amongst others, money from a Petro State) a privatelly owned forum for exchange of ideas and then shutting down any ideas he doesn't like.
/s
that pic of the woman saying Dumb NWORD , followed up by a rebuttal Dumb Cracker (the latter was taken down by admins) tells you all you need to know about elon musk
I mean it is funny, but there's a chasm between government censorship and whatever xitter is doing.
And this here is the exact reason im on lemmy.
Lemmy.ml: Comment removed for rule 1. Banned from all communities.
I knew someone would mention it but on lemmy if youre banned from one instance you can just use the other 200 instances
Aye of course, just poking fun that it's not always free from the same bullshit here too!
Should we be making a large effort to spread the word of better options to people? I feel like the discoverability of social networks (like this one) has gone way down, and a lot of people would like somewhere to doomscroll that isn't shit, but just aren't aware of other places/apps.
Certainly may not help that setting up LemmyWorld on my phone involved a pinned website app, something I'm guessing a lot of people haven't done before.
