Ah back in February 2022 when the nato-russia proxy war escalated, genzedong was one of the few places you could get info that wasnt pro nato propaganda/outright misinfo, and reddit didnt like that so they “quarantined” it, which for the unaware means it no longer shows up in all/popular, and you have to click a prompt to get access to it, but you needed an account with a verified email to get into it so you cant view it without an account as well. I think it also keep it from showing up in a reddit search if you havent already subbed to it as well.
As nice as it is that it's archived here and in a lot of people's hard drives, I think the spirit of it was largely lost. It was a great place for both in-depth and entrance level questions or concerns. It was perfectly open to any sort of honest question, it had all sorts of people asking and they frequently received very well-educated replies. On top of all that it was more active than its size would suggest.

Ironically, "misinformation" was the stated reason the sub was quarantined.
A great many of us came here to Lemmygrad as refugees from the r/Genzedong quarantining. The Russia-Ukraine memes were too good. r/Genzedong was a vital part of my radicalization.
One thing I miss about reddit - a constant stream of libs to dunk on
One thing I don't miss about reddit - you had to hold yourself back or risk getting Genzedong'd
What does getting GenZedong mean?
get your sub in le quarantine zone
Thanks for the info
What is the origin of the term?
Genzedong is a play off of Gen Z and mao zedong iirc
But I mean how did it the meaning of quarantining a sub?

r/genzhou was the greater loss. They never even gave a reason for banning it. It was educational and therefore dangerous.
True, at least we have the archive here
