@stux tmw being banned in China means you're doing the right thing
@stux But if you are banned, you need someone who is not to spread the information ... BTW good morning.

@me Good mioin  

Yeah I am thinking.. if you where to access the Fedi in China from another instance i would mstdn.social mastodon.online etd would just show up but im not sure 🤔

Luckily we also have .coffee that's not blocked 

@stux I can't use the tool because it's connected to a Google API.
@stux miaow.gay isn't, surprisingly. you'd expect them to block all of .gay.

@stux Not blocked in china here, and thankfully we do have chinese people who use our service to get access to the fediverse and post anti-chinese content,

So effectively chinese users can reach your server through us,

@stux Let me post a winnie the pooh to comemorate this occasion
@meeper
The version with red shirt is still under Disney copyright
@stux
@stux I just checked and mastodon.social is blocked in China!
@testoceratops Jup, also .online and mas.to and mstdn.social
@stux that should be considered a label of quality
@stux meine Instanz Rollenspiel.social ist von China zugänglich

@stux
„This URL appears to be accessible from mainland China.“

Layer8.space is not.

@stux maybe they are just blocking the .social domains.
@jomel Nop, also .online and mas.to for example 😉
@stux Apparently, this toot makes the app crash.
@Icepick87 Wow😮 the 'official' Mastodon app?
@stux Yeah, oddly enough.
@Icepick87 On Android or iOS?
@stux Android
@Icepick87 Hm.. weird! Maybe if you 'clear cache' from settings? 😮 
@stux no joy. And it seems to only crash just from the first toot. If I'm looking at the replies like this one, no problem.
@Icepick87 That's soo weird.. 🤔 there's nothing really special in that toot even 
@stux I need to mind you that Tor is blocked by GFW as well.

@SWwind You mean the download to TorProject?🤔

There are also other browsers with build in sockets or VPN 😮

@stux one instance for Chinese speakers which only has about 20 users is also banned. It's even harder for mainland Chinese to get the freedom of speech.
@stux I’m, sadly, not blocked by them 😔
@stux
Booooo I'm not blocked there. Not enough Winnie the Pooh on my server I suppose.
