What's the lemmy.ml stance on moderation of political / geopolitical posts? (self.meta)

So I'm part of a discussion about moderation on lemmy.ml, and it seems better to ask the community directly instead of continuing to speculate from a distance: What's the attitude here towards political debate and specifically criticism of the Chinese government? Is that allowed, or will mods delete it?

From what I’ve seen criticism is allowed.

Here let me try and take the bullet for you: I dislike the way China handles internet censorship and the way people in China casually circumvent it is proof that the whole endeavor was farcical to begin with.

If I don’t get banned and this comment doesn’t get removed, then I guess that’ll answer your question.

Nice! A moderation canary. If you stop seeing particular posts from a particular user, then you know they got moderated.
