    hexbear.net/c/Sino sidebar description:

    This is a comm for news, information, and discussion on anything China and Chinese related.

    Reality:

    A mix mainly consisting of positive-leaning news posts from ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆@lemmygrad.ml (not taking issue with those) and drive-by posts of mainly memes and Tweets glazing China by @Yuritopiaposadism@hexbear.net that never seem to become more measured despite comments pushing back (and they don’t seem to engage with the comments on many of these very active posts they make despite also being a prolific commenter on this site).

      drive-by posts of mainly memes and Tweets … by @Yuritopiaposadism@hexbear.net … (and they don’t seem to engage with the comments on many of these very active posts they make despite also being a prolific commenter on this site)

      I think Yuritopia just cross-posts things Yuritopia finds interesting from off the site and doesn’t want to bother arguing in the comments when some of those things end up being a bit controversial. I don’t think it’s meant to be bait or anything like that.

      Yuritopia has 1k comments and 17k posts, so I wouldn’t say Yuritopia is a prolific commenter necessarily.

        Yeah, to be clear I don’t think it’s bait. It’s more so that I’m not a fan of the posts, especially because there’s little to no engagement with or learning from the critiques other users level against many of the popular posts.

        Edit: And it’s ironic in this case given how the post is titled “Much to learn.”
