lemmy.ml and hexbear.net has been banned in China

I'm not happy with this development, but I'm slightly amused by the irony being that lemmy.ml is pro-china and has been moderated as such.

The great misunderstanding of hard left leaning western folks is that neither Russia nor China are socialist or communist.

Just like their hard right leaning counterparts they’re stuck in a mindset from the first half of the past century.

This is too funny. What a great post to wake up to lmfao.

China*

Please stop saying "mainland China". It implies Taiwan is part of China, at least to some.

Guess they're not tankies then.

lmfao the Xinny the pooh boot suckers are banned from their favourite dictatorship?

Leopards ate tankies' faces!

I tested two services that supposedly allow you to check if a site is blocked in China. I don't know with certainty how accurate these tools are in general, but I can say they gave me consistent results for lemmy.ml, hexbear.net, and lemmy.ca. Hexbear and lemmy.ml register as blocked, while other instances go through.

https://www.comparitech.com/privacy-security-tools/blockedinchina/

Results: lemmy.ml, hexbear.net, lemmy.ca, lemmy.world

https://www.vpnmentor.com/tools/test-the-great-china-firewall/

Results: lemmy.ml, hexbear.net, lemmy.ca. Lemmy.world could not be parsed using this tool, perhaps due to not being set to work with that TLD.

Not lemmygrad though, how odd

So two of the more tankie instances got banned in China.

The original post on lemmy.ml has been removed by the mods with this justification:

Critical support for the comrades in China for having to put up with those instances for so long.

That's fucking hilarious, if true.

Common China internet L.

"Papa China is just gonna go buy some milk, lemmy.ml, you're in charge, don't let hexbear use the stove or any knives while I'm out!"

[disappears forever]

Ironic.

LMAO that's hilarious

💀

Heh. Ironic.

Must be doing something right.

Are there any lemmy instances within China? 🤔

It was only a matter of time
