Hilariously, Hexbear is blocked in China.

"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Curiously, most common Lemmy sites and even Reddit are not blocked.
Lemmy.ml the Dev's Instance is blocked though.
Lemmygrad is also the dev's instance.
Yeah, I wonder why they blocked lemmy.ml and hexbear.net but not lemmygrad.ml and also plenty of other general purpose lemmy instances.
Lemmygrad is designed for Chinese users to access -- Which ironically goes against the Lemmy developer's whole "user privacy and freedom" shtick.
What about other Instances like lemmy.world, or beehaw, or even this one, I don't think these ones exactly agree with China's philosophy, actually funnily enough join-lemmy.org isn't blocked either.
I'm guessing China is pretty far behind the curve when it comes to Internet Security and monitoring, than we give them credit for.
Didn't bother checking those
They definitely didn't, I figure the Fediverse is going to be very hard for them in the future since these servers are all (mostly) connected (and exist outside of china).
