Maybe you’re sleeping under a rock. We’re currently rearming because of tensions with the USA.

It’s le chat mistral, it gives sources. Go to the reddit link and read the comment section.

Omg, they are talking about you!

“Lemmy, an open-source social media platform, is not explicitly banned in China, but its usage and accessibility can be subject to censorship and restrictions due to the country’s strict internet regulations. The platform operates on the ActivityPub protocol, which allows for decentralized communication between different servers. However, there have been concerns raised about certain instances of Lemmy, such as Lemmy.ml, where administrators have been accused of being pro-Chinese government and actively censoring critical comments. This can affect the content and discussions available on those specific instances, but it does not necessarily reflect the entire Lemmy network. Users in China may face difficulties accessing certain instances or content due to the Great Firewall and other censorship measures .”

That’s why I’m here. I do like the style of VRT in flanders. They allow everyone to come there. All political parties.

Yesterday they showed the earthquake that reached Bangkok. The last few days they showed the protests in Istanbul.

But, I haven’t heard anything about the protests in Jakarta. Nothing about how a military person has become the new president in Indonesia.

“Prabowo Subianto Djojohadikusumo (EYD: Joyohadikusumo; born 17 October 1951) is an Indonesian politician, businessman, and retired army general serving as the eighth president of Indonesia since 2024.”

For some reason this doesn’t seem to be important.

And that’s why I enjoy social media without a centralised authority.

Ah yes, only the opposition that you belong to 😁

How convenient

I’m European, criticising our government here in Belgium is our national sport.

So the opposition, ml instance, only cares about themselves and thus should be heavily censored?

I thought we were here on Lemmy so that we could choose what content we see and which content we want to upload.

I showed tank man, just literally no answer. But she asked about how Turkish Uyghurs were treated (she’s Turkish diaspora). Then it showed some very different answer than le chat mistral.

Basically the answer on DeepSeek is something you guys here would copy paste lol

Okay I misread about the 80% figure. It’s more about 50%. They just control 80% of the output through majority stakes.

But Chinese companies are going after all the cobalt in the world. It’s their industry that they want to shine in.

“Singapore does it”, my boss worked there and told me this week multiple times that Singaporeans are the most selfish ego centered people he has ever met. My wife grew up in Bintan, and she agrees. They are basically the Americans of south east Asia.

The subsidies are trickle down economics, heavily criticised by socialists.

Although income inequality is dropping in china. 0,35 Gini. In USA it’s 0,41. But here in the EU, it’s 0,29.

And where I live, it’s 0,26.

We’re still the most socialist.
