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

      nah, if they engaged with us seriously enough to criticize us, I'd take it as high praise and start bullying people to correct whatever they felt fit to correct us on. in order to be wrong, you have to get in the same zip code as something true first. I'd be much more concerned if they said we're not even wrong.
