Just wanted to share a thread for those who don't regularly venture out of the bear site. Can't cross-post since it's defederated. It's small but has some numbers about community counts, active users, etc and links to more info from https://lemmyverse.net/. Thought it was notable that Hexbear shows up no matter how you sort it.
OP image is community count sorted by active users in the last month.

At best it’s an overly strict re-education program with some individual discrimination by certain cops. That’s the most I’ll ever cede on the Xinjiang front, something was needed to deal with the CIA flooding ETIM terrorists over the Afghan border to stab 900 people. China didn’t bomb or kill anyone, unlike what the west does in their “counter-terrorist operations”
Yeah pretty much agree. When the UNHCR visit put out its report following the visit in 2022 it had almost the same conclusion. It was discarded whole cloth though by the same people who were calling for external investigations into allegations of human rights abuses in XJ only a short while earlier
Also then the country I live in refused UN visits during voluntary compliance with the UN optional protocol concerning the Prevention of Torture not one year later (which involved prisons, watch houses, places of remand and detention). Glass houses stown thrones.
I don't even know if it was overly strict. Give the CIA a crack and they will drive a titanium wedge into it with a wrecking ball.
