    Can you post winnie the xi jingping on there?

    Or is that an insta-ban like every other chinese-based platform?

      Discussion of any Chinese politics is prohibited, pro CCP or not. So yeah I think this will get you banned pretty quick. I have seen other international politics discussed though.

          You can post both those pictures on mastodon and no body gives a fuck but I guess choosing instance is too hard.

            choosing instance is too hard.

            A whole lot of people want their meals set before them. None of that cook from scratch stuff for them. “It’s too complicated”, they say.

              I really shouldn’t be complaining. It’s not like these people add any value to the platform besides being and open account.

        It’s really curious to see how Americans will post “Haha, your President is a funny color!”, then applaud themselves for being bold and transgressive.

        But when you see an American posts “Jesus, that’s some hollow, ugly, bigotry. Why are you attacking a person for their skin color? You should know better”, they’re bombarded with downvotes for being hack while implicitly accused of being an agent of a foreign power.

        Really illustrates what “Freedom of Speech” amounts to in a Settler Colonial state.

      Insta-ban. But at least you can criticize the US government on there. I don’t think that will continue to be a thing on major US social networks in the coming years.

        Old Soviet-Era joke. An American and a Russian meet in Berlin for drinks. The American says to the Russian, “Don’t you ever long for freedom of speech in your country? Why, back home, I can go on the telephone or radio and say all sorts of bad things about our President Ronald Reagan. Nobody stops me.”

        The Russian takes a sip, shrugs, and replies, “Comrade, I don’t understand the problem. In the USSR, I can go on the telephone or radio and say all sorts of bad things about your President Ronald Reagan, too.”

          Reminds me of the Jewish guy who wanted to move from USSR to Israel. They asked him:

          “Why do you want to leave? You don’t like the people here?”

          “I can’t complain.”

          “Or is it your job?”

          “I can’t complain.”

          “Perhaps you don’t like the politics here?”

          “I definitely can’t complain about that.”

          “So why leave?”

          “Because there I will be able to complain.”
