    NO ONE IS GETTING BANNED FOR CRITISIZING THE US HERE. In fact, it’s the norm here. Now, can you tell me how much I can badmouth the ccp on ml???

      Can you show me an example of a well-reasoned and well-sourced criticism of China that triggered moderation action?

        I got banned simply for stating that China is a centrally planned economy. Is that a bannable of fence nin your view despite it being the main description on Wikipedia and among most economists?

          From your description, that certainly sounds like an uncontroversial take, I would love to see the actual post though… Commonly people’s summaries of posts that got them banned differ quite drastically from the actual post

            You must be joking? There is a whole community of people posting how they got banned from ml for the most asinine reasons. Are you serious right now?

              Well, being on .ml myself I would probably have the worst visibility on that but when I have seen people actually look at the mod log, it generally doesn’t agree with the posters claimed rationale for the ban
