Depicting a heap of contorted bodies and screaming faces, the statue was unveiled Tuesday as part of an exhibition of “forbidden art” that organizers said had been censored or “deemed subversive” by Hong Kong and mainland China.

The exhibition was hosted by Jens Galschiøt, the Danish artist behind the famous sculpture, and Kira Marie Peter-Hansen, a member of the European Parliament (MEP). A further six MEPs, including representatives from each of the parliament’s five largest political coalitions, were listed as co-hosts.

    I’ve got 53 users blocked, plus 2 instances and a dozen or so communities on otherwise sane instances. Lemmy is nice now.

      Right? It is wonderfull. I also ended up blocking lemmy.ml and switching all .ml communities to alternatives. That is also a step I can recommend.

        Yeah I’ve blocked most communities there except for a handful that don’t have real alternatives, else I would.

        Seems not to be the case… At least there’s no straightforward way. I guess I could just copy & paste the list from my settings, but you’d still have to add them manually, one by one.
