Maybe they found .world libs so annoying, racist and the perfect mix of uneducated/unintelligent and arrogant that they see it as the perfect pro government radicalisation tool.
Yeah, they are creating many "Reddit moments" here on Lemmy
Let 100 Reddits bloom.
That awkward moment when you realize that Lemmy.world is the Chinese misinformation psyop and not any of the tankie instances.
Fight Liberalism with Liberalism.
China doesn't like .ml, I suppose?
Most likely. .ml was a free domain name for many years (including when we got it), alongside ones like .tk and .gq . So a lot of countries blocked them because many of the free domain sites were spam vectors.
Yet lemmygrad.ml is unblocked :o
That's nice.
It’s to stop all the SEESEEPEE spies from slacking off at work…that’s gotta be it!
They play the long game. All the traffic from China will bankrupt lemmy.world.
Geo-blocking Germany?
Is the general consensus that this is a mistake on the part of the government of China?
Things of the fediverse, they need to adjust the Firewall to any instance individually. The people there use anyway an VPN. Meanwhile a lot of chinese people in Mastodon instances without problems.
I tried it and returned all OK to me for lemmy.world and all blocked for lemmy.ml
And thats how work fediverse, yaaay
