    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.
