Comment on New policy requires Chinese influencers to display their personal information on Weibo
tree@lemmy.zip 1 year agoI wanted people from instances banned from popular instances like world ie grad, hexbear to be able to give their take on it, but I guess the mods couldn’t handle trying to reach a wide audience, won’t be posting similar things there again

Why would you even want their take?

And we already know what their takes would be: hot.

I don’t like all the defederation drama even though in many cases they started it, I prefer the reddit approach where I can interact with pretty much everyone, my instance is only defedded with the borderline illegal gross burggit stuff and the openly racist one and I think that’s preferrable to leave the user to block individuals or communities they don’t like other than the heinous stuff, I would rather have my posts reach most people on the site rather than smaller subsections personally.

Regardless, you do know they’re just wrong and brainwashed, right?

Maybe to an extent but I would say a lot of other people are “brainwashed” in a different way, you drop a Canadian super pro China guy into Beijing and they would not stand out as much as if you dropped some super pro US guy there, your conceptiοn of “brainwashing” lies entirely based on being in a vast majority English language site with vast majority North American and European users, there’s a lot more people in the world than only westerners and or english speakers and a lot of them have opinions you wouldn’t agree with and they aren’t any more or less brainwashed than you, you would only see them as more brainwashed because they take heterodox opions in your corner of the internet
