MODERATORS
Tankie admins are a missing stair and people deserve to be warned.
It's an issue even in communities you wouldn't think of as political. Another reply mentions OpenStreetMap... which is illegal in China. The Chinese government mandates that people lie about the shape of the Earth. Many obvious responses to this absurdity would get you a boot in the ass for "orientalism." Oblique criticism of that moderation, in turn, will get you a boot in the ass under their rule against bigotry... as if polite feedback against abuse of authority is intolerable hatred. Because they're such fans of democracy, you see.
And they're big enough that many communities are hosted there by surprise. Linux stuff, piracy, webcomics, video games - whoops! Your opinion has been deemed wrongthink. The people's workers' family super happy fun time council is the bestest and most democratic one-party state everrr, so how dare you take issue with a foreign superpower dictating that men in video games cannot wear skirts.
Highlighting the instance is a great idea. I might do that in-browser, as a CSS hack. I appreciate that this reader calls out that information when it's especially relevant.
Osm community modlog says nothing like what you just made up there.
Fuck off, sea lion.
That seems a bit harsh
It sounded like so many demands for effort, whenever people talk about .ml's censorship. They pretend there is no pattern of removing shit just for reminding people the CCP kinda blows.
And in this case someone missed that it was a purely theoretical example of where people might mention that that CCP kinda blows.
I see where you come from.
And sorry for commenting on a 2 months old post, it got brought back (I use "New Comments"), and I didn't notice all the comments were from a few months ago
The topic persists.
Oh, it does.
Have you seen this thread from 12 days ago? https://sh.itjust.works/post/20400058
I'm in that thread.
I just don't think the warning should be displayed in all the .ml communities, and according to the modlog in f.e. the osm community, there is really no need for it at all. I also don't want to have China, Russia and Putin in my mind when i want to reply in the crows@lemmy.ml community.
I think it's much better that it will now only show the warning in specific communities, i like that much better Rimu!

Of course some cannot be find elsewhere (open source, osm, jellyfin, fdroid), but at least there are some alternatives
