It's possible for platforms under the influence of the Chinese government and right wing American billionaires to both have harmful censorship.

But... But... the Tankies told me I had to choose!
What do you mean right wing America bad and China also bad?! But which team are you on then?! Someone tell me which crimes to excuse and which to condemn! /s
That was the point of the reply wasn't it? Maybe I assume too much of them.
Nah, the point of the reply was supposed to be "America bad", despite most of us clearly recognizing "Elon bad".
American government bad. A government that Elon will have a lot of influence in starting Monday. There's little meaningful difference between the two.

I am sure cisgender (ι‘Ίζ§ε«) and other genders are at least shadow-banned on red note. Honestly, I have not heard this word for my entire Chinese-speaking life, until one of my LGBT friend mentioned it.
Everyone knows China is a progressive communist/socialist country that recognizes genders :)

Yeah, their censorship is cruel and tragic.
But our censorship is cheeky and fun.

I mean you should do it but not out of spite, or to be hurtful, but to give people the freedom to choose.
And to do that, they need to know what their government was up to.
Yeah, but Rednote censorship is bad because ~communism~ whilst Twitter's censorship is fine because it's the 100% Capitalist Free Market situation of a billionaire buying (using, amongst others, money from a Petro State) a privatelly owned forum for exchange of ideas and then shutting down any ideas he doesn't like.

Yes imperialism is violent and hypocritical. Kinda 101. Strange to see so many apologists for this kind of censorship on Lemmy. Lib brainwashing plus state religion.
