Basically piefed.social scrubs all posts and comments from those exact communities (that fall under those keywords specifically) after 6 months to save on space. Rimu (correctly or incorrectly) regards memeposting as mostly frivolous and not worth saving long-term.

Having looked at the words and code specifically in reference here, I think it’s a copy and paste job from another local function (the local piefed.social retention rules)

Also, the context here is automatic federation of communities - right? It’s not a keyword filter in the sense that you’re referring to.

It can be and is disabled by other instances.

We’ve been building up the Pacific Fleet since the Bush 43 administration. War with China was the plan for PNAC prior to 9/11. And the Trump admin is flush with China Hawks.

Okay, so? You do realise that China has changed a lot since then. Again: This is a nuclear power with over double the USAs population. What exactly do you imagine the war goals here are?

PPP is a great place to start. Taiwanese cost of living has been climbing since Trump 1 while China has kept itself stable.

Can I see your data points here?

Basics - food, housing, transportation, education, health care - that Taiwan domestic policies privatized during the boom years have come back to eat their lunch in the lean years. Flat wages, rising debt, you do the math.

Still no data points.

You see the same problems across the Pacific Rim capitalist colony states. Everyone from Japan to India has been pinched by supply chain failures and venture capital excess. Taiwan’s not unique in this regard (honestly doing a lot better than most of their peers). But the check always comes due.

Even if this is true, why would the Taiwanese want to become absorbed into a one-party state?

What legislation is planned that will somehow roll back LGBT rights in Taiwan to be equivalent to the PRC?

Your source did not compare homelessness and poverty rates in China as compared to Taiwan.

You understand Taiwan is by far more liberal on LGBT rights than China, right? When did China legalise same-sex marriage? Or any of the rights granted to LGBT people in China?

Do you think LGBT people in Sweden or Canada would prefer the social and legal situation of LGBT rights and expression in China as compared to their countries?

Also, where is your data that homelessness is more prominent in China than Taiwan?

Moreover, do you think journalists, activists in Taiwan, etc want to live under a one-party state where all dissent against the CCP is curated?

Sorry, again, you unironically think that the USA is going to attack China? A nuclear power with over double the USAs population?

The point here is that you aren’t even comparing it to China. What are the metrics and standards of living in Taiwan as compared to China?

Do you imagine Taiwanese LGBT people want to live under CCP rule?

Where is your evidence that Americans are trying to use Taiwan as a base for regime change? How would this even work?

And your analysis on Taiwans housing prices and rent could be literally any major city in any major western country on earth. It does not demonstrate widespread poverty across Taiwan.

Only you guys seem to think this.

China’s overall end-goal is specifically to annex Taiwan. Taiwanese people do not want this. What would you call this?

Have they? Why is Taiwanese standard of living so low?

Is it? Based on what? What data are you referring to?

It was revealed to him in a dream.

And where did you gather any of this? You think Rimu’s sole and only motivation for Piefed is that and nothing else?

So how is Rimu a cryptofash?

This post will be deleted in a few hours when this account self-deletes and the lemmy.world admins purge it.

You are not needed to do this. Lemmy is absolutely fine without news-article spam across multiple communities from day 1 accounts. Your activity is actually harming the fediverse by forcing us to come up with innovative ways to throttle new users.

You do not need to flood the feed full of posts.

Moreover, since you self-delete - almost all of your content gets purged. How is this helping?

Sure. But you can say a lot more in the USA than you can China without risking a knock on the door from the authorities.
