If we don’t want to set rules against lies and propaganda, can we at least mark it as a “controversial community” so that it stays out of most feeds? Thanks.

    There’s plenty you could post about China’s history, language, people, food, art, landscape, etc. if you don’t like what you see.

    It seems like many people who claim to be critical of both the US and China are much more critical of China, and are also more likely to make generalizations about China, and Chinese people when they can more easily make distinctions about the US and American people.

    If you’re actually equally critical of the US, Canada, Australia, etc. then you should be just as vocal about PRISM, ICE, treatment of asylum seekers, wage slavery, police, prisons, and so on.

      I mentioned ICE at least twice and US slavery and prisons at least three times when I told people here I am not giving the US special treatment. But people here are not making good faith arguments. I just got banned from !china@lemmy.ml too.

      Also I wasn’t complaining about random posts, but about the propaganda in the article about the BBC claiming British people are terrible liars and that Chinese people aren’t, and that they “don’t do things for censorship reasons”.

        Jeez, what do you even consider a good faith argument? Almost everyone refuting your backed up their claims with sources in the thread that caused your ban

        I’m guessing you thought the UK ban of CGTN was justified then. If so, that’s just hypocritical.

          Also the article does not say that British people are liars, in any case British capitalists (as capitalists of any country) are liars to make people follow their narratives.
