Im gonna be honest. Its going to be weird seeing li without the label from onwards tho…
EDIT : Chen Also got his label removed too…
Who the fuck thought a Elon Musk tankie arc would be a good idea

Elon musk Is secretly one of us, I can already imagine him lurking on the grad
Edit: leftists when jokes
His praxis is being such an obnoxious capitalist that people can’t help but want to overthrow the bourgeoisie.
He’s still a piece of shit who needs to be shot (many times)
That’s a little bit sad as it was a reverse blue checkmark: you see the tag and you know that the posts are gonna be mostly fire
You’re telling me that Chen isn’t a diplomat?
The label was a reverse 🇺🇦
broken clock moment
Wait… why is this happening? There is more to it than Elon Yuck being chaotic, isn’t it?
i’ve seen people saying that it’s to “re-evaluate” the label system or something so you can probably expect them to come back soon (with all the US state media unlabeled, naturally)
Weird. What about other Chinese media?
i don’t see any labels for NPR, BBC, CBC, or RT. maybe all the “state-affiliated media” tags were removed?
edit: nevermind looks like Xinhua has it

Maybe that was while the change rollout was in progress? XHNews doesn’t have the label for me now, nor does any other account I just checked (including accounts from several different countries which did have it recently).
Somehow I doubt this will convince NPR and PBS to come back anytime soon.
interesting, and i think you’re right, i just checked, restarted app with IOS/ipad and it still shows “china state-affiliated media”… but my web browser does not show it
I presume the mobile app and web frontend are 2 separate repos. Considering Twitter is running off the backs of a handful overworked and burnt out H-1B workers, I’m not surprised that they’re having trouble rolling out changes.
Phew. At least we know who we can still trust. 😅
