Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse. We need to discuss ways to combat this. One group- memes or something is wholly controlled by Chinese state actors. What do you think?

Ultimately the problem is that the mods for the communities they frequently post to have allowed this to go on for years. They have to know by now what’s going on, and by doing nothing they tacitly endorse it.

I don't mind it too much. If the community itself can deal with ir by voting on the posts, it's a more democratic solution and it has a built-in consensus. Mods killing it makes life easier but it produces more quesrions among the community abt whether that was the best course of action. Kinda like how some people feel about being censored on .ml, no offence. Isn't that a dialectical relarionship of sorts, the effects of more vs less moderation?

I guess it depends on the people's culture. If they come from a lib background, less moderation is more productive. If they're used to authority taking care of things instead of them having to do the work, then more moderation is better suited or else people would complain mods aren't doing their job.

And speaking of moderation. OP got banned. 😄
