    There seems to be an entire LGBTQ ecosystem. Look for 🌈 for example. It isn't the same kind of posting as in the west though. More low key I guess, but still open.

    Anything that can be construed as sexual content gets removed. But people clearly skirt the line on that. I assume the average 🌈poster in China has a good intuition for what is fine to post. But like, you can say your gay or trans or whatever in English or Mandarin and be fine. At least from what I've seen. People have also been helping correct the translation for non-binary because people keep using a computer science term lol

    There are definitely some Chinese chuds on there, but most comment sections are very kind.

      Ah, I figured as much. The whole thing smelled like bullshit. Libs do love their woke xenophobia.

        I think they overblow it, but I have heard of people getting somewhat innocuous stuff removed for one reason or another.

        I'm not an expert though lol, I just joined a few days ago. I don't really post either so I don't know the limits.

      Well, a lot CAN be construed as sexual content, as gestures broadly at right-wing propaganda in the United States shows us. But is this referring to a good faith construing of it as sexual content?

        I realized I said that very matter of factly, but it is just an assumption based on what I've seen. Im sure it's strangely arbitrary like any moderation, particularly with a Chinese social media company.

        Porn is clearly not allowed, but like two girls or two guys holding hands and almost kissing seems fine.

        People seem to be posting about being gay and talking about it fine. Posts which get lots of interaction have a higher chance of a "we don't talk about this" comments (from men) but like the post is still there and others are like "ignore it, be yourself and live life fully". Posts with less engagement are usually very sweet in the comments.

        Idk, my feed is now theory, nb fashion, and cooking. It's great, but I don't really see anything else but that or the Chinese or American question posts. I do know if someone says something rude you can report them and it's removed.

        The only thing is that Americans flooding previously existing spaces like this may bring more unwanted attention and moderation. So no idea if that lasts or not.
