Since lemmy.ml and hexbear are banned in China, I like to see their users visiting China and have a nice time explaining about their little website.
Now that I think about it, activitypub must be a nice little wiggle-around for the great firewall. As unless they whitelist (I honestly don't know), all you need is a federated instance that isn't blocked.
I know this seems appalling, but, thanks to our friends at .ml, we know everything from a nominally socialist nation (with capitalist characteristics such as producing hundreds of billionaires) is justified and good, actually. Hopefully one of them will stop by and explain the specifics.
Wow just yesterday or the day before I saw a headline that said china is encouraging tourism from Taiwan explaining how there’s no reason not to visit.
Well, China legislated the death penalty for "separatists", a Chinese official said in June that Taiwan separatists will be “crushed to pieces”, and the Chinese ambassador to Japan said Japanese people would be dragged into the fire if they took part in forces plotting to support Taiwan's independence and "split China". Similar remarks came from Chinese ambassadors to other countries and other Chinese officials. You'll find more examples on the web.
Yeah it's pretty fucked. I was never planning to visit before but now there's absolutely no way even if it was asked of me for work or something. Fuck that.
