I found this interesting. I wanted to test it a bit so I set my username to LeninLives and got it reset due to breaking community guidelines. I also set my profile bio to the same. Also got removed. Apparently I'm now banned from setting a profile description or username now, permanently, and my username has been reset and my profile bio removed.

So that's uh...neat. I had heard that they go out of their way to aggressively censor any political messaging and I guess referring to Lenin counts? I was surprised honestly I don't even think Reddit would ban you for that.

Anyone have any insight into this? Anyone else have any weird experiences like this on XHS already?

I have looked at xhs and see many Lenin and communism posts by domestic users so I do think its the case that they're censoring anglos

I have a lot of American communist in my feed though. Comrade Workware, Lady Izidar, just to name a few. Ive seen CPUSA posts and lots of Mao posting, USSR posting. It's actually kind of annoying because I want to see more artist and they are plentiful and very talented!

I don't see any modern Chinese political discourse thinking about it now.
