I think they should be taken down or taken over by another entity. They were launched under the premise they were a utility and it turns out they’re being used military.
I dont mean the internet access itself but the giving and striping of access to suit a military agenda goes beyond the pervue of an organization claiming to be an ISP or commercial utility.
The big instances are blocked (like yours, i.e. lemmy.world) while the small ones that the CCP didn’t catch up with yet (like mine) are working fine. It’s a censorship went wrong moment
yup, they moved to PROXIES, and anti-detect browsers much like reddits getting more sophisticated detection, china is always trying to find a way to detect these methods. from what ive heard on the same forum that ban evades reddit.
Honestly, someone hurry up and launch an alternative! Chinese are setting up one but I wouldn’t trust them either.

The French government just invested a load of money in Eutelsat to kickstart this about a month or so ago
Quick, someone not france!
For starters, the Great Chinese Firewall blocks access even to lemmy
It depends, maybe they like the contents of some instances like this one
Although on some blocks I can’t disagree:

The .world domain appears to be unblocked, at least on some of the test sites.

Oh yeah, my bad. It was .ml that’s blocked. Kinda ironic given that it’s one of he most pro-CCP instances out there
What do you mean? Chinese people cant host a lemmy server? Or just the main servers worldwide arent available there?
Anyone can host, but if you can’t federate it’s of very limited value.
Oooh interesting, network bisection problems.
Can’t even watch porn with Chinese internet, westerners won’t survive a day on using that internet without a VPN.
Actually porn is what makes many Chinese start using the VPNs too
