I wonder, is it from referring to Lenin, or the political misinformation that Lenin is alive? I've seen people with Lenin in their usernames

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.

XHS is not really the place for politics, think of it as Chinese Instagram and Pinterest.

I've had comments deleted that were simply saying that in the US tax law encourages capital accumulation and discourages wage labor.

It'd be nice to have some kind of explanation as to why they were removed, I want to make sure I'm abiding by their rules.

Huh weird, mine has Stalin in it and while it got paused for review it was approved

If they put me in charge of the great fire wall any westerner posting anything political, but especially leftist stuff, on any Chinese social media would be assumed to be wreckers from Langley

Communism is my entire identity

Yeah, their moderation is pretty heavy handed

go full momo

I think you can’t put any political stuff in bios. They wouldn’t let me put “Marxist-Leninist” (in Chinese) on mine. Posts are a different story though, some may get caught by moderation but then a lot of them won’t. I’ve certainly seen my fair share of commie posting

I've seen tons of political talking including praising of Lenin, I have been included in a lot of political discussion and haven't had any messages deleted yet. Including calling Musk a fascist and other similarly inflammatory things about reactionaries.

Oh yea that happen to me, they removed my description for having the word communist and the pfp for being a picture of clodsire

But after that i made a paint drawing of a turtle they were cool with that

Moderation on Chinese social media is patchy and it’s going to depend on your luck a lot of the time. If someone doesn’t like what you have to say and believe it to be infringing on the rules, there’s not much you can do about it. Most people either self-censor or use slangs or homophone substitutes to bypass automated censorship filters.

Discussions about sensitive topics won’t be easily translatable to English because people write in pinyin initials or homophones and you almost have to be native Chinese speaker to be able to read them.

Gotta be because Lenin is not alive and that's misinformation or something, politics are not disallowed on XHS.

I see lots of communist stuff on there. Idk - I'm using it like Instagram so I haven't had an issue. I intend to actually start sharing music and stuff too on there

Literally the first thing I did was search for the tags "Stalin" and "lenin" to send my algo in that direction

i havent had any issues with anything being removed personally

I have no experience with political censorship on there, but I can confirm that they have no tolerance for weeb removed.
