It can not be overstated how important the Great Firewall was to China's growth and stability today. Imagine how splintered and chaotic China would be if Facebook, Google and Twitter were free to infect their population with Western propaganda.

    Xi please extended the wall and let us in. Imagine if we were free from that too.

    lemmygrad is not blocked, at least according to this site www.chinafirewalltest.com/?siteurl=lemmygrad.ml

    Hexbear is likely blocked because of some unaffiliated crypto currency scam a few years ago that had hex in the name.

    no idea about ml, maybe because the TLD is from mali? lemmygrad also has a .ml TLD however so idk.

    Yeah. I used to be really anti-censorship, but now I'm more "no investigation, no right to speak." Which means I do a lot of not speaking 'cause I have much to learn still.
