I found this interesting. I wanted to test it a bit so I set my username to LeninLives and got it reset due to breaking community guidelines. I also set my profile bio to the same. Also got removed. Apparently I'm now banned from setting a profile description or username now, permanently, and my username has been reset and my profile bio removed.

So that's uh...neat. I had heard that they go out of their way to aggressively censor any political messaging and I guess referring to Lenin counts? I was surprised honestly I don't even think Reddit would ban you for that.

Anyone have any insight into this? Anyone else have any weird experiences like this on XHS already?

Mine got removed for referring to myself as a communist. My pfp is Castro though and they seem cool with that.

As for insight, XHS is generally considered in China as not a place for the discussion of domestic politics. So I imagine they limit discussion of communism especially by foreigners.
