Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is a good thing, but I don't get why everyone is so impressed by this. When you're a dictatorship, have a billion workers at your disposal and everyone just falls in line, of course things are going to move faster.

I guess for me it’s just the amount of dithering and delay by most governments around the world, it’s incredible when a government actually does something.

On the flip side, there’s obviously all of the human rights abuses committed by the CCP, and it’s a lot easier to make a lot of progress very quickly when you can silence people who oppose you and force people to comply.
