Which is an odd thing to say now because of how much US and other western nationalist parties went from hating the Commies to dick riding Russia and being bipolar on China.
Then people there could say “That’s not what it’s like here at all” and suddenly propaganda debunked.
.mls absolutely depend on the epistemic bubble to create a void of knowledge that they can fill with their BS. Anything that says anything bad about the PRC is “western propaganda.” All their sources are PRC propaganda, but since it’s non-western they claim that makes it valid.
That explains why I don’t seem to notice many Chinese trolls here. Chinese trolls are more direct and less subtle. They are always reactionary to comments and their responses to criticisms are always PR-sounding. At least that’s my experience in Reddit.
Russian trolls, meanwhile, I have to say they are more clever because they always pretend to be from another country. But with the flailing invasion of Ukraine, they have become increasingly less subtle than before and don’t even hide it.
Yeah but if a company is caught fucking up they face actual consequences and not record profits lol. Those companies also can’t influence government policy, rather the government tells the company its limits on surveillance and data retention.
No one’s protecting the US either here. I think most people here agree that the US, China, and Russia all suck currently and are all trying to control the narrative in multiple countries, corrupting them as well.
You don’t need to align yourself with another country to see that one sucks.
That doesn’t mean they’re from China. They might just be from lemmy.ml . 😏
Tankies can come from anywhere.

I always find it to be the ultimate irony that .ml is blocked in China.
Little spez puts in work parroting their state propaganda and they don’t like him either.
You don’t have to like or respect the lackey you hire to get a job done.
Basically they are only for outside propaganda. They dont want their psy ops become known for inlanders.

You know we have people from China on .Ml right??

When they’re from China they’re trolls, lmao?
Free Tibet
Already done, you missed the party!
Wait, are you saying they block the lemmy instance, or do they block the .ml TLD altogether?
I’m not sure how accurate this site is though.
haha, oh wow.
The anarchist instance is not blocked either LMAO
(If that site is accurate)
Very
This ip probably sits outside the firewall.
I’m not sure what those mean.
I suppose they’ve used a proxy / VPN in China to test whether the site is really not reachable from there.
What are the chances the Chinese are technology savvy enough to figure out it’s a VPN?
We need to test this on lemmygrad.ml
Most people use a VPN in china
Truly, a sign of a free nation.
Free from Facebook, palantir, and NSA surveillance, sure
Because wee chat is a free from any surveillance?/s
Duuur good thing they don’t have their own surveillance and social media companies that do the exact same things.
So stupid it hurts.

I mean, durrr
Companies get away with all kinds of shit in China. You really have no fucking clue.
Companies literally run the government and write its policies in America, lol.

K but one is the global superpower lol.
Man, came here looking for them. Little disappointed.
You just didn’t wait long enough. One lemmy.ml user (emphasis on “ml”) posted in this thread just a few minutes ago.
Found him
Yeah
