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.
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.
Can you post winnie the xi jingping on there?
Or is that an insta-ban like every other chinese-based platform?

Tbh I’ve been on !casualuk where politics is also banned and it made for a more chill environment
i bet you feel so repressed over there :P /s
but yeah i totally get that and thats why lemmy is certainly not my only social platform /gen

Mock USA in RedNote, Mock China in Instagram Reels?
Or mock both on Lemmy, I suppose.
Lemmy is great. If you want to criticize China or the Russia you can post on World. If you want to criticize America or Europe you can post on .ML
Unless you’re standing on the 3’s territory.

Reminds me of the Jewish guy who wanted to move from USSR to Israel. They asked him:
“Why do you want to leave? You don’t like the people here?”
“I can’t complain.”
“Or is it your job?”
“I can’t complain.”
“Perhaps you don’t like the politics here?”
“I definitely can’t complain about that.”
“So why leave?”
“Because there I will be able to complain.”
A joke that hasn’t aged particularly well, given the current state of the Israeli government.

Don’t be weird
Can you post that Trump picture on truth social?
I wouldn’t know. I’ve never been on that platform.
You can post both those pictures on mastodon and no body gives a fuck but I guess choosing instance is too hard.

A whole lot of people want their meals set before them. None of that cook from scratch stuff for them. “It’s too complicated”, they say.
I really shouldn’t be complaining. It’s not like these people add any value to the platform besides being and open account.
Casual racism is so cool
Whinny the Pooh is yellow…
He’s trying to link it to calling Asians yellow

What’s funny is how Winnie the Pooh is literally nothing but positive. lovable bear. yet somehow its offensive.
Cheetos are delicious crunchy snacks, and yet conservatives will ban you from their community for posting
Real mystery. I guess some people are just too fat, stupid, and ugly to accept a complement.

Also the Chinese probably boost their social credit score too for defending glorious Xi from Western dogs.
Liberals are so gullible they keep believing propaganda long after it’s been discredited even by Western sources. Absolute rubes.
LMFAO. This is your takeaway if race is ALL you can see.
🤡 you’re the racist if that’s what you get from that image.
Would you still be mad if we posted it in greyscale?
Casual chromatism.
You could make it flesh toned and then people wouldn’t understand why you’re posting unedited pictures of Xi.
nah just xi.

The difference is in the US it’s not the government stopping you.
Rednote is a private company.
