I apologize if I caused you any discomfort. About a month ago, I learned about Lemmy, and I was quietly observing, like a crab blowing bubbles in the water. Then, a few days ago, I saw a post asking, "Is Lemmy banned in China?" That sparked a thought in me: "Hey, why not register and communicate with everyone to share some real information about China?" So, I submitted an application to the admins and joined the Lemmy community. It's like a little crab suddenly swimming up from the riverbed to the surface, announcing its presence to every passing fish. This might indeed annoy the fish. As time goes by, I might become like one of the small fish, blowing bubbles together with you all in a friendly way on some issues. Or perhaps, I will return to the riverbed, continuing to be a quiet crab blowing bubbles. π
That is such a lovely metaphor. I love your posting style!
Thank you for liking it! π
Who's posting this style of propaganda here? Also this is exactly how my Chinese friends write in English. In a webspace that is mostly American it really doesn't seem that abnormal to contextualize your differing perspective.
It sounds fake if you only read the first sentence that started with "As a Chinese person...". If you keep reading on and still think propaganda then![emoji picard picard](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/b642072c-3cef-4832-b9a2-6991271b46e7.png)
