I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.
Some of the users takes on the CCP are garbage, but a few garbage opinions doesn’t warrant defederating.
Edit: You know what on second thought let’s defederate. There are a lot of tankies shilling for countries that hate the lgbtq.
I’m trans and know people that live in China, their conditions are basically the same as the USA, but slightly better these days because they don’t have a hate mob spreading lies about them in the media and trying to genocide them in select states like America does. In general, there is next to zero awareness about transness in China, whereas the opposite is true in America (they are highly aware and full of hate about it), so it is a different flavor of bad in that regard. The emphasis the government has on accessible affordable housing and food makes that aspect of transness easier than in America, though, the trans women I know in China all have their own safe place to live in.
Now Russia… yeah… they’re doing what those American states were doing federally now. But Ukraine does similar too, unfortunately. Source: I’m Czech and can read/speak most slavic languages by virtue of that, I also have been part of an illegal network to help trans/queer refugees leave Russia and Ukraine. In this organization we would typically help people move to Prague, St. Petersburg (for people who cant leave Russia, this is the best choice of city), and in the east, to China, particularly Shanghai and Harbin (large russian community there). Language barrier and cost of living are huge factors in where we’d help people move.

And the excessive brigading.
Just so you know, CPC or communist party of China
as opposed to CCP, or Chinese communist party,
is what they call themselves, and does not have certain racist connotations that CCP does.
Also CCP was used to associate with CCCP to help recycle a century of anti-soviet propaganda.
I will still call them the CCP. I hate the Chinese Government, not the people. The people deserve a government that actually gives a shit about them.
There are more than a hundred million Chinese people in the CPC and it has a 95.5 percent approval rate. If you hate the government but love the people that implies some prejudice about how Chinese people are in order to approve of their government.
Since you “hate the Chinese Government, not the people,” i.e. you have some basic human respect for those people, do you suppose that even a fraction of the population (say, ~10%) knows more about the Chinese government than you do? Remember before responding that VPNs are exceedingly common in China.
Not giving a shit about your population by lifting millions out of poverty
