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.
I was curious what lemmy.ml has to say about this but it seems the linked post was deleted in the meantime 🤡
The poster was banned for trolling but I saw a comment showing that it is real.
It is definitely blocked.
Source: I’m in Mainland China.
West Taiwan*
Saying that is what China wants.
You’re reaffirming the one China policy and keeping the status quo.
Conflating Taiwan and China means Taiwan can never move onto independence.
Taiwan seems very independent already though and the vast majority of the world feels the same way.
This took a major hit just a few years ago when the UK officially backed out.
It looks like this info is out of date based on a quick search. https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-parliament-calls-taiwan-independent-country-report-says-james-cleverly-visit-china/
That said, UK support or not seems to have had little to no impact.
How is lemmy.ml pro china?
ML stands for Marxist leninist, which means they love authoritarian regimes that don’t like the US. The number of them that unironically stan Stalin is baffling.
ML is machine learning. It means they love teaching AI to overthrow the illuminati government lizard people. Can’t believe u didn’t know that, kinda embarrassing

Oh no… It’s retarded.
.ml is the top level domain for Mali, it doesn’t have anything to do with Marxist-Leninism by itself. They may have chosen it as a tongue in cheek reference, but it is also a cheaper alternative to other more popular tlds like .com.
Right. And TV means Tuvalu but it actually means television far more often than Tuvalu when it’s used in a domain name.
.ml domain names used to be free (together with .ga I think it was) through freenom so it might just be that they snagged themselves a free domain that just happened to be ml.
Not saying you couldn’t be right but not everything is quite as well thought out as it first seems.
