Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

    I think the problem is how authoritarian it is. It feels like living in Russia or china. If you say anything bad about china, russia, NK, or the moods you are attacked like you are the anticrist and banned.

    From my experience I would risk to say many of those accounts are not even “real” people just a lot of ccp or kremlin police. Really zero freedom to express any ideas or even debate

      Yeah, it’s absolutely a pro-dictatorship pro-russian/chinese farm to get their bot accounts comments, upvotes, etc, to push misinformation.

      Literally got banned today for saying Putin should pull out of Ukraine and china has live organ farm harvesting in Xin Jiang province.

      Edit: spelling. According to some big brain thinkers if you make a typo in the name of the province where people are tortured, it miraculously never happened…

        Well, good ban. Disinformation should be banned.

        You also seem very concerned for the people of a province whose name you can’t correctly spell. Surely not concern trolling

          That is unfortunately not disinformation, you can easily google it.

            Western state propaganda disinformation is readily available in Google, unfortunately. No material evidence for this, only “anonymous interviews”. We’ve seen how trustworthy those are when manufacturing atrocity propaganda against US geopolitical adversaries.

                The original comment talked about Xinjiang province, not about Falun Gong practitioners, whom are interviewed in your article.

                Falun Gong is a cult, and it’s a political organization linked to Trump and to anti-Chinese propaganda. From Wikipedia:

                The performance arts group Shen Yun and the media organization The Epoch Times are the major outreach organizations of Falun Gong.[5] Both promote the spiritual and political teachings of Falun Gong.[109][110][111] They and a variety of other organizations such as New Tang Dynasty Television (NTD) operate as extensions of Falun Gong. These extensions promote the new religious movement and its teachings. In the case of The Epoch Times, they also promote conspiracy theories such as QAnon and anti-vaccine misinformation[112] and far-right politics in both Europe and the United States.[58][26][27] Around the time of the 2016 United States presidential election, The Epoch Times began running articles supportive of Donald Trump and critical of his opponents.[113][27] Falun Gong extensions have also been active in promoting the European radical right.

                Are these the people whose testimonies on China you’ll be believing?

                  Man, good one, tankie. I’m sure Xi will be increasing your food rations for the month.

                  We’re also believing the videos from inside the compounds and the Uyghur Muslims from the province that escaped.

                  You must be really proud of yourself for covering up some of the most heinous crimes against humanity that can ever occur.

                    Oh, now Wikipedia is a tankie too? Damn, you should tell the rest of lemmitors. Lmfao.

                    Sucks that so many people in Lemmy use “tankie” as a though terminating cliche. “I don’t like what I’m reading, must be a tankie”.

        To you, opposing genocide in Palestine and wanting to end US supremacy and western imperialism looks very similar to the Alt-Right.

        Your problem is that you don’t care when it’s the west oppressing people

          Not at all. If you don’t want anyone to be opressed I would support but anyone knows about reeducation camps, ukranian invasion and I’m not even going to comment on nk… that is just absurd. I’m not defending us just because I don’t agree with other peoples oppresion

          Btw I’m not american! Just a decent human that want other humans to be free.
