I was curious what lemmy.ml has to say about this but it seems the linked post was deleted in the meantime π€‘
It's my fault. I signed up for it before I realized it was a pro China instance and the other day I said I'm not a Communist.
I feel like I might have legitimately helped as well by mocking them incessantly for being campists and not socialists
Where you drunk?
Who, me? Never.
Why aren't you a communist?
The poster was banned for trolling but I saw a comment showing that it is real.
It is definitely blocked.
Source: I'm in Mainland China.
West Taiwan*
Saying that is what China wants.
Youβre reaffirming the one China policy and keeping the status quo.
Conflating Taiwan and China means Taiwan can never move onto independence.
Taiwan seems very independent already though and the vast majority of the world feels the same way.
This took a major hit just a few years ago when the UK officially backed out.
It looks like this info is out of date based on a quick search. https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-parliament-calls-taiwan-independent-country-report-says-james-cleverly-visit-china/
That said, UK support or not seems to have had little to no impact.
Taiwan is its own country, always has been. china would be lucky to be known as the geographical-offshoot of Taiwan.
I recently commented on !memes@lemmy.ml in a post that shouldn't have been there about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and instead of removing the post they removed my comment while lying about the reasons, and the modlog is full of those.
All of lemmy.ml should be considered suspect, and I'm not sure if lemmy itself shouldn't be as well - anonymous voting, comments removed from communities are also removed from personal user profiles on your user host, no warning when your comments are removed ... it's basically everything that was rife for abuse with reddit, except handed to developers who get the first say about where lemmy is heading who clearly have fringe questionable political biases.
It's funny, because from lemmy.ml on a clean session, I'm not seeing the same politically charged posts being prioritized as I'm seeing on lemmy.world to their platform ... I'm considering switching to my kbin.social account - which begs the question, shouldn't there be an option to migrate user accounts between servers?
