I tried to challenge some ideas in World News and I guess asking questions about Chinese censorship is xenophobic. Now I’m banned for not being pro Chinese censorship.
There’s your problem. If they stated their rules, rather than forcing people to figure them out by trial and error, I’d have less of an issue with it. Like, lemmygrad is explicit in its intent and they state it outright in their rules. Lemmy.ml plays it too coy, and so comes off as incredibly manipulative.
I wouldn’t take it seriously, they gave me a month long instance ban for saying a federal representative democracy is by definition a type of democracy.
Those sound like comments on a different topic, specifically the story about Paris’ improvements in air quality lately (because they built bike infrastructure and partially banned cars). I had to remove nearly identical comments in the [email protected] thread on it, for the same reason.
To be fair, there are plenty of critical content. It’s just that they use coded language to avoid the censorship. (Probably not on XHS / RedNote though? It’s more of a Facebook equivalent.)

Those are other users’ comments. Not sure how those are relevant to JiveTurkey’s comments.
Not sure.

Well, there’s also the racism
Serious question. Did I say something racist?
Now that I look again, I see that you failed to filter the logs and some other user’s trash was in there.
Sorry. Didn’t realize that was an option.
You failed
I jive with you, Türkiye!

You weren’t trying to challenge ideas. You were regurgitating US propaganda.
Instead of regurgitating CCP propaganda?
Just asking questions instead of excusing it all under the guise of propaganda. I have no doubt some of it is, but all of it?
When our government has a long history of direct lies it’s safe to assume everything they say is a lie.
I don’t think that’s ever safe to assume and ignore critical thinking
My man, I am really curious where you get your news from.
