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?

It's safe to assume that the enemy is promoting propaganda while our noble nation is promoting the truth!!! \s

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

criticizing trump or us military interventions is pretty much all i do on ml, grad, hexbear

i eventually leave or get banned from the anarcho lib comms for doing that.

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.

Ive been banned for criticzing the PRC explictly from a socialist perspective.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 16 minutes ago

You were temp-banned, for dogmatically repeating debunked claims pushed by liberals, in the face of evidence to the contrary. You appear to be free to comment there.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] realitista@lemmus.org -3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

communists will mostly discuss communism and related

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.

I've gotten banned and censored from communities there for saying that Ukraine should fight back against Russia.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately for you, the modlog is public

You were temp banned, usually those are for a few days for the person to cool down. The removed comment was part of a chain advocating for the collective punishment of russian civilians

Ah. Enlightened centrism.
