This is related to China how?

Good read. Fuck censorship. Fuck the CCP.
Pro tip: Posting in non-relevant places about the controversy you personally find very important - even if you're right - is counterproductive to the very thing you want changed.
My friend, this post is about China getting cut off from the rest of the word, most likely due to government censorship.
The title of this community is Technology.
It is a PSA about the current steps the US is taking towards similar levels of censorship. This is pretty damn relevant to both the community and the post topic.
I know some people don't like it, but politics is part of tons of different communities. Even a crafting community would be affected by the current tariffs.
Please refer to my previous comment.

Just as a reminder, you are able to block users if you do not like what they are posting.
Cool, but I hate living in an echo chamber, and worry remaining an ignorant dipshit like most people here, and I also don't mind reading things that hurt my feelings. So, no.
Nobody was talking to you then?
I don't like to resort to that, but since you've suggested it - yeah, I'll never hear about your concerns again. Thanks! Good job!
"I don't like how you've chosen to express yourself, so I'm going to stick my head into the sand so I don't hear your concerns."
How very white liberal of you. Really channeling your inner Jordan Lund.
Eh, I would rather get blocked than have a troll that follows me everywhere.
I don't know for sure if this user is one, but everybody wants something different from their online experience and I don't think there is anything wrong with curating it.
IF they hate politics and don't want to see it anywhere on their feed, that is their choice. It may come back to bite them in the ass with IRL "leopards ate my face" style consequences when they realize that politics affects everyone, but it is still their choice.
The midset of "Everyone's opinion is valid and should be heard" is a neo-liberal perspective with their "centrist" (right leaning) approach. That is how we got to institutions platforming literal Nazis on debate channels.
I think there is a happy medium where it is alright to block users or hide posts if their messaging is just counterproductive or inflammatory.
Also it is better to block trolls than rag on them, their goal is typically to get any reaction.
I like to give them a chance to discuss and try to introduce them to a new perspective, but the second they throw a blatantly bad fatih comment, I am going for the block button.

well, that's not what I said, so yeah, I agree with you.
That was more of a juxtaposition of the example you gave of blocking = putting your head in the sand VS everyone's opinion should be heard. My main point being that there is a happy medium between the two.
I probably should have phrased that differently, sorry.
it's all good
Oh look, a racist. Anyway.
It's not directly related to China, but it's relevant to the topic at hand
