      You guys just don’t even try anymore do you? The CCP has never controlled Taiwan. Taiwan is an independent state. Come join us over here in reality.

            The ultranationalists that would kill 9 generations of your family for even being associated with their opposition party? They’re doing “democracy?” And they said Helldivers was satire

      Joined Aug. 22nd, 2024. First post was expressing desire to be a moderator in a communism sub. Expresses support for nations like China specifically when in relation to Taiwan. Supports other odd situations and events. Has a name “JohnBrown”. If it wasn’t for the fact that you’re so unlikeable, I’d make an argument that you’re a plant to try and twist narratives and convince communities of certain ideologies.

        I don’t know what was said, but is that a rule on here now? That you can just remove anything you deem to be CCP propaganda? I have noticed that nearly anything that can be construed as pro Russia or pro China is downvoted to hell on here. But so far I hadn’t noticed posts outright removed by mods. This feels wrong on so many levels. Why not let people express their opinion so long as they do not do it in an offensive manner?

            Ok but my question was did he break any rules? Is all propaganda forbidden on here, only Chinese propaganda, how do we decide? Or is it up to the mod’s discretion to decide what propaganda is undesirable and remove it?

              Rule 6, trolling. We don’t need that kind of grief.

              Same as if someone rolled in saying Ukraine wasn’t a country and belonged to Russia. Just absolute nonsense.

                Respectfully, I do not see how this falls under trolling. Trolling would assume that the poster is disingenuous. But nothing that I have seen suggests that he was. And I do not think that moderators should make such calls. You may feel that something is “nonsense” but that does not mean you should exercise what little power you have to silence people, unless they clearly violate commonly agreed upon rules. Anyway, I don’t have a horse in this race, only reason I’m speaking up is because I see more and more forums that could host lively debate turn into circlejerks.
