    Try saying negative stuff about China on .ml I doubt that they are not completely undermined by the Chinese intelligence. (They delete every post critical about china).

    So being vigilant is the only way to avoid getting manipulated.

      .ml might just be useful idiots tbh. But I remember speedrunning an /r/sino ban and that took me all of 1 minute, with a comment that wasn’t even critical about China. It was a thread about how it’s awesome that the west can’t live without China for 5G connectivity and I said that “maybe it isn’t all that great that an entire industry has been entirely centralized to one country” just to see if an absolutely lukewarm take would get banned. It did.

        Yeah, it’s strange. Like even slight criticism. I mean that’s okay, but what about actual constructive discussions? None!

        If you are not allowed to criticize a system, that system is inheritly flawed. But that’s my personal take on this.
