If this is the thinking I can expect on this instance, perhaps this is not the instance for me.

I feel that maybe you’re reading my question as ‘critique of China is inherently support for the west/US/etc’ which I absolutely do not mean. I think that it’s possible that painting all critique with a broad ‘xenophobia’ brush (while undoubtedly warranted at times) can prevent discussion in good faith.

I am asking this in full earnestness: is any critique of the Chinese government assumed to be rooted in xenophobia?

Twitter’s definitely didn’t.

I don’t know… 50% of their top advertisers have left, and their advertising income is down 60%. I’m no longer there, so I can’t speak to overall user engagement, but with their revenue cratering, I’m not sure how long it is destined for this world.

What was striking about that episode was that they weren’t going “back” to the internet [in some bygone era], it was the internet as it stood presently. And because “presently” was 199x, it feels today like the “old web.”

Modern day, that would be Wikipedia on Kiwix

The problem is, the results are faked.

Okay, I’m sure that’s true. Present the evidence.

Is this what passes for journalism these days?
