I got a two week ban from it yesterday for abbreviating Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) the day before 🤷 I was commenting on the posted CJR article.

Good to know. The subtleties of Lemmy federation are a trip.

According to Western polling, the average person in China thinks it’s going pretty well: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/07/long-term-survey-reveals-chinese-government-satisfaction/

You’re not calling out defenders of US authoritarianism or US imperialism, though, are you? You’re calling out defenders of states that the US coincidentally considers its enemies 🤔

You can’t help but jump straight to Western Defender of the Free World mode at the slightest nudging can you 😂 You don’t need to do the CIA’s job for them.

Because user cm0002 is site banned from lemmy.ml, lemmy.ml rejects his comments on lemmy.ml posts, which means lemmy.ml won’t federate those comments, which means those comments won’t spread beyond cm0002’s own instance, lemmy.world.

They don’t federate, I don’t think. Only the reddit.world echo chamber would see them.

I thought we were all trying to get away from politics.

First of all, why would you think that? Second of all, everything is political so that is literally impossible. And third of all, only centrists who want things to stay exactly as they are, because they feel they are are benefiting from the status quo, ever say such things.
