An alternative for /r/china

R1: Be respectful. No directed offensive language or personal attacks are allowed. Profanity is allowed, but not if it’s directed at others. Racism, sexism, and slurs or similar remarks are not allowed in either English or Chinese, including in usernames.

R2: No bad faith behavior. Bad faith behavior can include combative argumentation or statements intended to disrupt others’ points of view rather than engaging with them, attempts to provoke others into being caustic, making derisive remarks that add little value, or otherwise participating in discussions to the detriment of others. Making extreme unsubstantiated claims or sharing materials that are low in substance but high in outrage may also lead to removal.

R3: Media policy. Memes, images, videos, gifs, and other types of media are allowed but are strictly moderated. Media regarding real life people and events should provide appropriately sourced background context or risk deletion. On a spectrum from daily life musings to cultural commentary to political soapboxing, moderation of media will tighten. Media concerning topics that have already been discussed at length will likely be deleted. See also r/ChinaMemes

R4: Post title policy. Posts with low-effort, editorialized, provocative, inaccurate, sensationalist, or misleading titles will be removed and may result in a ban. In addition, posts linking to news articles or other third-party content in English must match the title of the original source or will be removed.

R5: No reposts / One post per topic. When posting about current events or new developments, please check if there are already other submissions on the topic. We regularly delete subsequent posts about the same topic, even if they provide additional information or context. If you would like to share additional information about something that has already been posted, please do so as a comment in the original thread.

R6: Posts must be related to China. Content that is only tangentially or incidentally related to China will generally be deleted.

R7: Submit the best source format. Submissions should be of the best available source format. For example, twitter posts should be submitted as links, not as screenshots. If your post is removed for this reason, you may resubmit it after appropriately selecting a better format.

R8: No meta-drama References to other subreddits that tend to cause drama, or contain Reddit Content Policy violations or other issues such as hate speech or misinformation, will likely be removed. Posts about bans or removals on other subreddits are not allowed.

R9: If posting in Chinese, please translate at least the post title / 规则11:如果发布中文贴子,请至少将标题翻译成英文

i hope this place takes off, reddit sucks and has for a while, it just has a critical mass of users so as a forum it works well. but i digress.

If this place takes off, it would be cool if the china community here isn't an anti-china circle-jerk like subreddit. that was getting pretty exhausting seeing burnt out expats delighting themselves at any misery experienced in china. /r/china and /r/sino were basically just two sides of the same jaded, acidic coin.

it would be pretty cool if we had actual mainland chinese people here, if we talked about living and working in china, interesting places to visit, social and economic news, and whats going on with the government with a bit more clear headed sobriety.

i can't do another DAE hate Winnie the poo circle jerk post.

or maybe im the one being annoying and pretentious, it would just be cool to have a place online about china that doesn't actively hate the country itself

Yeah, I share your feelings towards both r/china and r/sino.

The pandemic certainly didn't help to keep people grounded to reality. The diet of just high level political and economical news was turning people cynical.

To get more Chinese people on the forum, it should be accessible from China.

I'll be traveling to China soon and am curious if latte.isnot.coffee is blocked.

If it's not blocked, and I believe it isn't, it would be if it started to become popular. r/china was mentioned in state media over the years, after all.

This server does work in China, however I would still advise a VPN for anyone coming here from within authoritarian regimes. I've taken precautions and mask IPs in the logs but still....
