    I have! And I have my Chinese friends feed too. Inside and outside of china. There’s definitely differences, but that’s how algorithms work

    Have you seen the coordinated response to genuine spreading political disconten

    Yes i have seen it. They solve things pretty fast e.g. COVID lockdowns when minor protests broke out, petit bourgeois real estate protests, etc. doesn’t look like you pay attention to things like that

      COVID lockdowns when minor protests broke out

      “Solve” is an interesting verb for suppression of legitimate mass discontent at being physically locked into their apartments. That “solution” worked so well for those “minor protests” that they decided to do a 180° turn from the Zero Covid policy to no restrictions overnight.

      Truly a bastion of free speech, except for any real discontent is labeled capitalist subterfuge so we’ll just disregard that.
