Is it not already a propaganda mill by convention? I assumed that was part of the deal to continue operating.

Yeah I thought this deal happened months ago. I guess now they're being public about it.

Before it was a vague sinophobic conspiracy theory pushed by big tech and other fascists... Now it's a reality.

Didn’t you invalidate your own comment though?

You should read the comment you replied to then. Or is it your own you’re confused about?

You dismissed sinophobia by admitting you dismiss the existence of sinophobia. Both in your first comment, and your most recent one.

If you recognized the sinophobia pointed out to you, your comment would invalidate itself. It seems, however, that you are unable and/or unwilling to do so, which takes away credibility from the rest of your claims.

I’m pretty active on there and my entire feed is academic and thoughtful left-leaning commentary. Granted I had to work at curating it. Day one was all thirst traps. But now I really enjoy it. I will actually be sad when it becomes unusable.
