    Lmfao, the fake communist would rather ignore the health risks of over work to blindly support a fake communist country. Tell me you’re Wumao without telling me you’re Wumao. 🤣🤡

      Wumao refers to posters who post unrelated content to disengage conversations around subjects that are critical of China. The term also referred to a phenomenon on chinese social media platforms, and alleged that the community party was paying people to make the posts. The majority of people engaging in that pattern of content are members of the communist party, party officials in any capacity.

          Is Lemmy a chinese social media platform? :o

          Also, you’re using the term to describe someone who is not engaging in the behavior the term is meant to describe.

              I genuinely did not know that, I had not checked what instance they were from.

              You’re essentially saying theyre a paid disinformation disseminator? But thats not what wumao means. It also doesnt describe a phenomenon in western online spaces, but rather one on China’s social media networks. I’m not making a statement of agreement or disagreement with the idea that theyre a paid bad actor. I am calling out your usage of the term wumao.

                You know what I’m saying, you’re purposefully pretending to be ignorant because you support them. Or, they are your alt. Few people here are confused what I mean, even if they disagree with me.
