Discussion of any Chinese politics is prohibited, pro CCP or not. So yeah I think this will get you banned pretty quick. I have seen other international politics discussed though.
Insta-ban. But at least you can criticize the US government on there. I don't think that will continue to be a thing on major US social networks in the coming years.
Old Soviet-Era joke. An American and a Russian meet in Berlin for drinks. The American says to the Russian, "Don't you ever long for freedom of speech in your country? Why, back home, I can go on the telephone or radio and say all sorts of bad things about our President Ronald Reagan. Nobody stops me."
The Russian takes a sip, shrugs, and replies, "Comrade, I don't understand the problem. In the USSR, I can go on the telephone or radio and say all sorts of bad things about your President Ronald Reagan, too."
Over 10% of the entire nation of Israel was out in the streets demanding Bibi’s resignation in 7/23 with no reprisals for anyone. Im willing to bet you can criticize Israel in Israel.
Mastodon and Lemmy are the same fediverse... You don't need to have an account on both to communicate between them...
And just like Lemmy, you can self-host your own Mastodon as well. No need to choose... I technically run both. But I like lemmy much more than mastodon personally.
They are thoroughly compelled by the government there to remove any anti-government sentiment and ban the accounts. But before you judge, that's going to be the next target in the US once facebook and twitter finish canceling "woke" and promoting whatever flavor of nazi-ism they're in the middle of promoting.
It's .ml, they have a lot of CCP shills/bots/ops/whatever. I haven't heard this new spin on it. Which is kinda a funny one because the Xijingpoohbear started in China...you know, by other folks with the same skin color.
I'll give the CCP social manipulators some credit, they are good at their job. Getting something plausibly called out for racism on Lemmy is a reliable way to get a lot of kneejerk support without any thought behind it.
Eh, Cheetos are junk food though... empty calories that make people fat (I actually really dislike normal cheetos... but like crunchy cheetos). There is clearly a negative connotation here... The most you get from Winnie the Pooh is that he's often naive to stuff, but that only makes him more warm and loving... Which makes it all the more stupid that Xi Jingping would take offense.
It's really curious to see how Americans will post "Haha, your President is a funny color!", then applaud themselves for being bold and transgressive.
But when you see an American posts "Jesus, that's some hollow, ugly, bigotry. Why are you attacking a person for their skin color? You should know better", they're bombarded with downvotes for being hack while implicitly accused of being an agent of a foreign power.
Really illustrates what "Freedom of Speech" amounts to in a Settler Colonial state.
