I get past a few posts in all and then it’s just him posting in political communities.

Half of his stuff is downvoted

How do I stop seeing this? Is there way for blocking particular user to not see their posts?

    From what I’ve gathered from others who’ve been bothered by them, they are a ‘tankie’ who fantasises about communism and thinks China is still a communist state. That they do so while living in a western democracy using all the tools of freedom of expression is an irony that’s lost on them

      I wouldn’t even call them communist, they just post pro-China propaganda. They’re furthering the agenda of a specific government, not an economic ideal.

      I just blocked them soon after joining so I don’t have to see the braindead posts/comments they keep submitting.

    He’s actually a nice enough guy, but he has a rose-colored glasses when it comes to China and the CPC. As someone who worked at China Daily, I assumed he works for state media! He said he doesn’t but he hoped to go to China someday.

    Given how often he posts, I’m a little concerned about his mental health, but maybe this is what keeps him sane. Better than shooting people in a mall, that’s for sure!

    I’d actually like to meet the guy and have a cup of coffee

      mass shootings are a decidedly right wing phenomenon. this goes back to columbine. dummy

      if you think you can just make hostile replies to someone who posts things you dislike and call them mentally ill for repaying you in kind, what would that say about your own behavior 😂

      i guess you miss reddit already huh? want to post about how tencent is censoring the tiananmen square massacre posts?

    Speaking as a Lemmygrad guy. He’s a Lemmygrad power poster. I honestly don’t know how the guy does it. Not only does he have the articles, he’s got the sources to back up his claims in the comments. It’s truly admirable. I’d love to meet him sometime.

    While most Socialists let Reactionaries shame them into silence, Yogthos posts the truth despite negative criticism.
