Many of us are here cause r/GenZedong got quarantined two years ago for the crime of being honest and popular. Not that gz was exclusively about China, but it was one of the few spaces you could be on reddit where "China good actually" didn't get you immediately dogpiled and likely banned.
And before GenZedong it was the old Chapo sub. Chapo took me from a radlib sucdem and turned me onto true socialism/communism. Reddit banning them pushed me to GenZedong which finished the job. The Lemmygrad migration just helped me polish some things off.
Same, although instead of chapo I was one of the "Bernie bros" on Facebook in 2020.
Also, Reddit reserves the right to suspend users with political views the admins disagree with.
In addition to the other comments, The Deprogram sub on Reddit is fairly pro China now. It's been interesting watching its user base transition from baby socialists that are like "bu bu but what about China bad?" to full on CPC supporters.
I would say just don't bother with reddit, but Sino is probably the best China subreddit. For the love of all that is holy stay away from /r/China, I am pretty convinced it just consists of sexpats with a sprinkling of diaspora that have never actually been to China. Sino isn't explicitly a communist sub, but that tends to follow it being a relatively pro-China place to begin with.
Genzedong was great, but after the quarantine has largely migrated over here. I think some people still post there.
