Comment on New policy requires Chinese influencers to display their personal information on Weibo
tree@lemmy.zip 1 year agoI 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

Nah, once you’re pro-genocide you’re just objectively wrong. It has nothing to do with cultural differences and is not subjective. Same with many other things, like Taiwan. Taiwan is factually an independent country. Many Chinese don’t think so because they’re brainwashed. But a fact is a fact.
