              Ah back in February 2022 when the nato-russia proxy war escalated, genzedong was one of the few places you could get info that wasnt pro nato propaganda/outright misinfo, and reddit didnt like that so they “quarantined” it, which for the unaware means it no longer shows up in all/popular, and you have to click a prompt to get access to it, but you needed an account with a verified email to get into it so you cant view it without an account as well. I think it also keep it from showing up in a reddit search if you havent already subbed to it as well.

                r/genzhou was the greater loss. They never even gave a reason for banning it. It was educational and therefore dangerous.

                    As nice as it is that it’s archived here and in a lot of people’s hard drives, I think the spirit of it was largely lost. It was a great place for both in-depth and entrance level questions or concerns. It was perfectly open to any sort of honest question, it had all sorts of people asking and they frequently received very well-educated replies. On top of all that it was more active than its size would suggest.

                    I just miss it I suppose.

                Ironically, “misinformation” was the stated reason the sub was quarantined.

              A great many of us came here to Lemmygrad as refugees from the r/Genzedong quarantining. The Russia-Ukraine memes were too good. r/Genzedong was a vital part of my radicalization.
