What about WhatsApp is open?

If this is the thinking I can expect on this instance, perhaps this is not the instance for me.

I feel that maybe you're reading my question as 'critique of China is inherently support for the west/US/etc' which I absolutely do not mean. I think that it's possible that painting all critique with a broad 'xenophobia' brush (while undoubtedly warranted at times) can prevent discussion in good faith.

I thank you for your response, and generally think you are right. Perhaps I should rephrase my question a bit to: is the existence of multiple communities on a given subject a feature of Lemmy (perhaps even unique to Lemmy) we should expect and embrace, or do you think communities coalescing into few/one will occur naturally?

Ron Desantis. He certainly looks younger than many other candidates, but he still looks like a typical presidential candidate age. When I found out he graduated high school the same year as I, I've never felt more old.
