I literally just left Xinjiang again, currently in Kazakhstan.
If you want to criticize China, talk about existing policy, not silly shit the west made up.
Maybe even come over and make some friends and ask them about their experiences.
Also p sure its lemmy.ml policy to include the post you were banned for, unlike .world who will straight up lie.
ML mods have been caught ignoring their own policy and do straight up lie as well. Both of the teams are kinda crappy.
It wouldn't surprise me. Imo its a flaw that lemmy doesn't require mods sign their actions.

Как оно в Синцзяне? Читал только на Медузе о нём, и там, конечно, описывается настоящий концлагерь.

I can't read or speak russian.
The people, both uhigur and han, are warm and friendly towards foreigners. You'll run into a range of experiences and opinions. Some being more willing to discuss them 1on1 after a bottle of baijiu. Xinjiang has excellent wines and distilled liquors that pair well with the heavy, spicy food.
The coffee tends to be kinda bad.
You'll hear mandarin, uhigur, and what I thought was Russian. Some of the older uhigurs can't read chinese characters.
The food is excellent, they use a lot more mutton, then beef, pork is least common, but sometimes you see it.
It gets quite a bit of snow.
There's more cops and old folk hired as security(i forget the word for them) than elsewhere in China.
