Public instance admins should recognize the increasing interest from #Chinese users (in fact a screenshot of a Mastodon post was widely circulated on Weibo), driven by the Shanghai lockdown, social media KYC requirements, and public disclosure of IP address locations. Each #mastoadmin should (re)commit themselves to protect their users' privacy and freedoms (esp. of speech, within rules) w/r/t their instances against bad actors, instead of making jokes about the GFW block. @stux
@austin In fact, we get many "congratz" on the block and it maybe does says something I am all sad about it...
It's a slap in the face of social media and FOSS, esp in such a big country. Hopefully our Chinese users can find a way around it and still keep us company on the Fedi like before 
@austin Indeed we do! 💪 And ofc we keep an close eye out on this whole situation. We did had a onion address already but it's becoming more and more important!
No matter where users are from everyone needs to keep in mind the server guidelines, as simple as that
