    It can not be overstated how important the Great Firewall was to China’s growth and stability today. Imagine how splintered and chaotic China would be if Facebook, Google and Twitter were free to infect their population with Western propaganda.

        HB is blocked btw. HB, .ml, and grad seem to be the only ones. Pifed.social blocks China.

          lemmygrad is not blocked, at least according to this site www.chinafirewalltest.com/?siteurl=lemmygrad.ml

          Hexbear is likely blocked because of some unaffiliated crypto currency scam a few years ago that had hex in the name.

          no idea about ml, maybe because the TLD is from mali? lemmygrad also has a .ml TLD however so idk.

            Oh you’re right about grad, it gives me a “connection timed out” page, then reloads it normally, weird.

      It can not be overstated how important the Great Firewall was to China’s growth and stability today.

      Is there an apology form for previous opposition to the great firewall? Or just their censorship in general.

        Yeah. I used to be really anti-censorship, but now I’m more “no investigation, no right to speak.” Which means I do a lot of not speaking 'cause I have much to learn still.

          It’s right to be extremely skeptical of censorship but I think we’ve fully tested at this point whether there should be censorship of some kind. The answer being yes. Covid really put it to the test.
