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.

Yeah, their censorship is cruel and tragic.

But our censorship is cheeky and fun.

/s because unfortunately it's necessary

Chinese shenanigans

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

I am sure cisgender (ι‘Ίζ€§εˆ«) 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 :)

I've come across plenty of LGBT content on REDnote in my short time so far

That is interesting. I am genuinely curious, are these by Chinese people in Mandarin/Cantonese, or your fellow "refugee"?

You should really use /s, almost missed it.

[–] [email protected] 84 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That was the point of the reply wasn't it? Maybe I assume too much of them.

It's hard to take any apologists for the CCP seriously even if they make a good point.

That user is being hypocritical by using Twitter while bashing censorship, but it would be the cultural equivalent to praising Biden or Trump for never drinking and somebody comes along and praises Hitler for also not drinking. You should not praise Hitler even if it is true.

Nah, the point of the reply was supposed to be "America bad", despite most of us clearly recognizing "Elon bad".

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

I interpreted it as:

haha Chinese censorship

Right here too

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The reply just pointed out the hypocrisy of the original poster.

(As in "here you are a willing participant in a forum were censorship is just as bad complaining about how there is this other forum were censorship is bad")
