You can go to the indonesian subreddit and you'll see them all speak Bahasa Indonesian. Reddit is banned in Indonesia. They still go there with VPN.

Chinese government is richer, they went after the VPNs.

Chinese citizens cannot be here, they cannot form a Lemmy instance where they speak mandarin to eachother.

Social media has to accept Chinese laws, which includes moderation by the government. They are only allowed to have political opinions that align with those in power.

Iran and America hate eachother. Completely different culture, etc.

My friend was born in Iran, his family did all the effort to get into Belgium. He'd rather be shot dead than to live in Iran. But he's also a bit loco. Saying he would nuke Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan if he had the chance. Edit:forgot his favourite nuke destination which is india

But that's just one guy. Sorry, had to include cuz random.

What most people would dislike about Iran would be the dress code. Girls protesting it and being arrested. For some reason never to be heard from again.

Just things that I would not want my wife or future daughter to live in.

My wife came from a Muslim dominated country, would be told to wear a hijab while she's not even religious.

She likes that she can wear whatever she wants in Belgium.

And now... Would I be allowed to say things like this in Iran, or would it be removed by their government employees? I have no idea about Iran.

I just know that us Belgians are allowed to shit talk our government as if it's a national sport.

Go to Belgium2 subreddit, everything is spoken in Dutch. Most of it is complaining about the government.
