Oh yes, little FYI:
mstdn.social is blocked in #China
So are mastodon.social, mastodon.online and mas.to plus some others!
Pooh doesn't like open info
@stux that’s the great part about the fediverse. Anyone can host their own instance at home on a Pi and if they get raided they could just snip the SD card in half.
@koyu Exactly!
Plus onions But federation is wonderful indeed
@stux @koyu have noticed networks like gamelibrrty.club which chronicled onion addresses of Chinese and Russian fediverses. To target then with doxxing and public acknowledgement to the respective authorities. Guess that’s why I’m on a Twitter ban for exposure of Chinese and Russian intelligence assets and yes they banned me for that.
@stux Pooh doesn't like anyone really.
@stux Xi’s also worried about the more fanatical base in China. They have stated they wanted him dead. Of all things he doesn’t impose cultural relativity enough as Maoist doctrine would’ve been made.
Well that's kind of stupid thing to do as if the State wants to control (anti)social media, it's much easier to follow existing big instances and users instead forcing they build own unknown hubs and networks.
@stux Is there any easy way to support people in China? I guess onion, but also feel like that's just too simple.
@stux last time I checked mine was also blocked so I guess is good.
