So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy's version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?

For those of you asking/ curious, the reason given was 'yellow peril'. Really? I guess my being asian and directly affected by the Chinese activities in the scs makes me somehow a threat to yellow people?

Lmao that username. You're either Malaysian or Singaporean.

Leddit? Yeah I was active there, then decided to leave.

Same, with a name change to go with it. Hope things work out here mate!

HK or Cantonese could work as well.

Cibai is a Hokkien insult, not a Cantonese insult

Canton is part of main land Chinese, they use the same standard pinyin.

Ofcourse you can be edgy and use Wade-Giles or some new thing that Taiwan came up with.
