I apologize if I caused you any discomfort. About a month ago, I learned about Lemmy, and I was quietly observing, like a crab blowing bubbles in the water. Then, a few days ago, I saw a post asking, "Is Lemmy banned in China?" That sparked a thought in me: "Hey, why not register and communicate with everyone to share some real information about China?" So, I submitted an application to the admins and joined the Lemmy community. It's like a little crab suddenly swimming up from the riverbed to the surface, announcing its presence to every passing fish. This might indeed annoy the fish. As time goes by, I might become like one of the small fish, blowing bubbles together with you all in a friendly way on some issues. Or perhaps, I will return to the riverbed, continuing to be a quiet crab blowing bubbles. π
That is such a lovely metaphor. I love your posting style!
Thank you for liking it! π
The 2 main Lemmy developers (who also run lemmy.ml), Dessalines and Nutomic, are outspoken Marxist Leninists and very pro CPC. This place doesn't have anywhere close to the level of China derangement syndrome that reddit has.
Who's posting this style of propaganda here? Also this is exactly how my Chinese friends write in English. In a webspace that is mostly American it really doesn't seem that abnormal to contextualize your differing perspective.
It sounds fake if you only read the first sentence that started with "As a Chinese person...". If you keep reading on and still think propaganda then
