This isn’t just relevant to Lemmy because it’s culturally intertwined with Lemmy but also because there’s a search engine database now that acts as a registry for anyone promoting any of the mass shooters (Luigi, Robin, Tyler, etc.).

China currently bans anyone from entering who denies their narrative about Tiananmen Square. It’s the same deal here. There’s also a couple of already-controversial Lemmy users who are collaborating with the US government by judas-kissing everyone after having honeypotted them. One of them having been infamous for banning people who promoted “blind alignment with Luigi Mangione” [sic].

    I don’t think they do. I think they would if you decided to start telling people in China about it. But if you shut up while you’re in China and haven’t shown any signs of trying to influence the Chinese people, they don’t really care.

      You’d be surprised. Any time some famous YouTube host says anything about Tiananmen Square, there’s almost always an obligatory drama queen remark about being banned from China the moment it gets uploaded (I say “drama queen remark” because I would be surprised if anyone would actually want to go to China aside from seeing the great wall and marking it off a bucket list of every nation that ever existed).

        That’s a celebrity. Nobody cares if you’re an average person and not too loud. Although the list of celebrities on the Wikipedia list of banned people from China seems to be people who did/said stuff while in China, often to an audience.
