does sh.itjust.works allow criticism of CCP? (self.main)

I have seen that the lemmy.ml mods will openly ban discussion about the CCP. I am wondering if the sh.itjust.works team allows criticism of government bodies, while still banning racism.

There's some talk about "a rise in anti-China posts that have hit Reddit lately" in https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/07-history-of-lemmy.html, which struck me as odd.

Criticism of any governments should be allowed, especially authoritarian ones.

Yeah. This is kinda gaslighting:

We’ve also seen a rise in anti-China posts that have hit Reddit lately, and along with that comes anti-chinese racism,

No. Anti-china posts are not racist. We all hate Hitler Germany. Does that mean we are racist against Germans?

This sentence is fundamentaly flawed and shouldn't exist in the documentation.

It's an absolute gaslight. He doesn't mention that the subs closed down supported authoritarian regimes and were a safe space for violence and extremism where members regularly advocated for it.

But yeah it's typical authoritarian/fascist gaslighting.
