I mean it sounds crazy and people over there likely don’t give a fuck but wouldn’t it be worth a shot?
11% of Reddit is owned by the company Tencent. The company has numerous CPC party members and someone on the board of directors who’s a member as well as a deputy to the National People’s Congress.
Couldn’t we ask them, as fellow communists, if they’d consider putting some pressure on Reddit to, at minimum, push back against far-right and anti-china sentiment as well as try to get some of the leftist communities we’ve lost back?
Again I know it sounds crazy but isn’t this what our movement is all about? Solidarity and internationalism?
Anti-China sentiment is unfortunately expected outside of China, but doesn’t matter to the Chinese at all. What are you gonna do, stop trading with China? Can’t happen. Go to war? You’ll loose.
Best we can do is unfederated social media like Lemmygrad. Truly owned by the people. We can’t be kicked off here. Do be mindful it might not be anonymous, depending which email/username you signed up with and which IP address you’re using to access. But a hell of a lot better than Reddit.
