It’s been nice to see ordinary Americans open up to life in China but everyone is acting blind to their censorship. Makes me thankful for the fediverse and being able to self host my own instance.

    Posting anything about any Chinese leader is verboten.

      Weird. Weird how I post about Chinese leadership quite often on Weibo and haven’t been canned.

      Here’s a thought: maybe it’s how you go about it that counts?

      Criticism of Mao in particular is perfectly cromulent here. The Party itself criticizes Mao, especially for the Cultural Revolution, with some fairly harsh language.

      But if you don’t know how to do it or when, then … ah … yeah, you’re going to get people pissed off at you.
