Just imagine if Xi Jiping came out tomorrow and said in English “my advisors told of this website called Hexbear, they said that it was the bulwark of socialism in the west, I fired this advisor and they were sent to a reeducation camp. I have spent party resources researching this Hexbear and came to the conclusion that it is reactionary website filled with radical liberals that has bad takes on literally everything. We will be extending the great firewall to block not just Hexbear, but all Lemmy extensions, we cannot taint our brand of Marxism with this adventurist bourgeoisie filth! This E-communism is heretical and everyone who practiced it must be branded with a hot iron on the face so no one can ever take them seriously again, their fingers must be cut off so they can no longer type, their eyes must be glued shut so they cannot read theory to misinterpret it. Not just the Hexbearers, but the Breadtubers, and the Dirtbag Leftists, and the Star Trekkers too! DRIVE OUT THE REVISIONISTS WHO POST BAD TAKES ONLINE!” -Liu Cixin
Hexbear literally is blocked in China fyi
Once again, a correct decision by the CPC.
: "liberals, liberals, all of them."
It's because there is a crypto service with the same name. Chapo.chat is not blocked
I'm in China rn, and it works without vpn
Are you using DNS over HTTPS or something?
Don't think so, just using mobile data via e-sim, doesn't work on the hotel WiFi without vpn.
I see.
Everything works here without a VPN if you have a western SIM card, but try accessing it from your hotel WiFi.
I literally had no issues (no VPN either). Mind you I was using a Hong Kong SIM card, but sure if that would make a difference.
I was logging in every day. Occasionally media wouldn't load.
When was it you were in China?
Edit: cause it was this comment from four days ago where I found out that Hexbear was blocked, but only by DNS, not by IP
2 weeks ago
All of Lemmy is too, and rightly so
Why tho
I think it's just airing on the side of caution
To be fair 90% of us are probably feds
Yeah I'm a fed
I'm a fed up with the alienation of a-capitalism, wahoo
