Seems like the fediverse would be a good way for Chinese citizens to get around censorship.

Does anyone know if they are using it?

A good way for Chinese people to get around the censorship is emigrate. (Btw, I'm a US Citizen that was born in China. Lets hope I dont get deported under Project 2025)

But seriously tho, the language barrier is gonna make like 99% of Chinese people not visit foreign sites, the Great Firewall is not really needed, but Xinnie Pooh-bear be paranoid af. My parents, who live here in the US, don't even use western social media, and use WeChat all the time, even my mother who speaks some level of English, still uses WeChat

I think there were like only one user that had their solo-user instance that said he actually living in mainland China, forgot their username.
