It’s been nice to see ordinary Americans open up to life in China but everyone is acting blind to their censorship. Makes me thankful for the fediverse and being able to self host my own instance.

    Well yeah, Mao Zedong is kinda like Chinese Muhammad or Chinese Charlemagne (not supporting the guy, but still). Were you not expecting to catch some passionate attention? I mean, I’d also ask that of everyone; China is kind of known for censoring things, like Italians and cheese or Icelanders and their elves, so it’s weird to see people think the equivalent of “I’m going to a flock of crows dressed up as an owl because it’s exercising freeeeeeeedom!”

    I don’t “support” that from a Chinese government perspective, as their journey for power and reach, like a lot of territorial groups, involved lots of death and domination over things that couldn’t “ethically” be owned, but from a service owner’s perspective, I mean, if it’s rightfully the child of your own two hands, it’s just your right to ban as you wish.
