"Centralised messenger Signal has just announced that they are making part of their server software closed source. They claim it is to fight spam, but by using closed source they make it impossible for outsiders to verify the truth. This is worrying.
We really, really need a fully open, decentralised alternative to Signal.
There are several alternatives being developed, please support them:
➡️ @matrix
➡️ @delta
➡️ @briar

I can imagine the “evidence”: the Xinjiang genocide is not real because our absolutely transparent, benevolent and honest dictatorship government says so.
Again, this just shows that you have never actually seen any arguments against the Western narrative. Most of the commonly presented evidence is not from the Chinese government. It’s a mix of independent sources and finding that there are more holes in the Western narrative than Swiss cheese.
This is the supporting evidence I speak of. You’ll find that almost none of it is Chinese in origin:

https://lemmy.ml/post/74653 – This one’s from the Italian government.
Why would it be? Is it because all of them are so brainwashed by Chinese propaganda?
You say that while not reading beyond what your absolutely transparent, benevolent and honest Western government and mainstream media tells you. The vast majority of English speaking China supporters are that way because they have researched both sides.
