Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse. We need to discuss ways to combat this. One group- memes or something is wholly controlled by Chinese state actors. What do you think?

    The difference is that I don’t get banned/censored on western instances for criticizing Trump or US military interventions.

        Well sure you can criticize Trump there. But try criticizing the CCCP, China, or Russia.

          You can criticize them as long as you aren’t doing so from a liberal, anti-communist perspective. The genuine flaws of existing socialism are better analyzed by those that actually study socialism and socialist countries.

          we have reservations about, and criticize them all the time.

          what i don’t really see being tolerated is insistent propaganda talking points or trolling, and even then most will talk to you if you are reasonable.

            Insistent propaganda talking points and trolling are tolerated if they are from the Russian or China/CCP perspective. Honestly that’s about all there is on their news or politics discussions.

      You don’t get banned on hex, grad, or ml for it either, either. People should really check the mod logs a few times daily.
