Comment by CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works on Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them?

If so, was it polled somewhere?

I can’t hear you, the Arms Deliverys to Ukraine are to loud!

Fuck you people. You are pro China and Russia.

We are pro China, we are not pro Russia

Same thing.

Taiwan is a Country

Not really. Not even amerikkka agrees

I am incredibly owned rn

It’s the 1989 Tiemaman square Tank Man picture and Xi Jinping as Whinnie the Pooh, images commonly censored in China as one of them demonstrates clear oppression and the other discredits the CCP.

Oh, so @CookieJarObserver is using the racist Whinnie the Pooh insult.

As always. Scratch a liberal and a fascist/racist bleeds.

You realize that this picture originated from Chinese social media right?

Have you ever seen the complete tank man video? he doesn’t get run over, while in the authoritarian US state vehicles are often running into peaceful protestors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-W-7WPWfE4

How dare those tanks not run over that man! Don’t they understand that freedom is when you just plow into people like US security forces do.

Oppression is when you stand in the way of a tank and the tank stops for you, and then you climb on top of the tank and have a conversation with the guy in the tank, and then you walk off completely unharmed

I’m fairly new to Lemmy. What does that signify? something to do with federation I guess? I can see the picture - Xi as Pooh Bear…

Recently someone started trying to bring large Lemmy instances down by posting CSAM on large instances with open sign ups, as a result the hexbear mods made it so that images from untrusted instances wouldn’t be shown to hexbear users to avoid hexbear users having to see stuff like that and to reduce the mods workload, idk whether its a temporary measure or not but for now all images from untrusted instances are just replaced with the words *removed externally hosted image* on our end

Thank you, that makes sense.

I had to see and report some offensive material on that line, and while it was quickly removed by our admins I don’t think there’s any way to actually prevent it.

So in other words our chinese censorship is censoring american freedom?

Lmao your instance literally blocks it. Just shows how your instance can go fuck themselves.

correct, we don’t allow racism or bigotry on our instance, fashie. sorry that offends you.

Our instance doesn’t show any externally hosted images, it’s not about what’s in the image idiot

Its completely irrelevant whats inside the image, the point is you don’t get shown it because your instance likes censorship.

classic centrist move, idk why people question their alignment so much

Just spamming worthless links to propaganda doesn’t make you right.

Just posting an image of a man who stood in front of an actively moving tank, crawled all over it, then walked away unscathed doesn’t prove anything that you think it proves.

Go do that on one of your own military’s tanks today. You’d be doing me, yourself, and frankly the entire world a favour if you had the courage to try it.
