Dear friends around the World,
Recently, dozens of thousands of Vietnamese users join Minds. Most of them are not good at English and newbies. They are not familiar with Minds, some even don’t know how to use their pictures for avatar. I hope that they can improve their skills soon.
So, if you see that thousands of newbies on Minds without their own avatar rather than Minds’ ones, please don’t be in panic :)
The reason we, the Vietnamese, move to Minds is that the bastard communist regime just passed the so-called ‘Cybersecurity law’ with many vaguely worded provisions to target freedom of expression online and silence our critical voices of dissent. You cannot imagine how the life under the authoritarian regime. We are living in a big prison and we don’t want to be imprisoned on social media.
Recently, it seems that Facebook comply with Vietnamese communist’s regulation. They took down our posts without any notice. They might think of money rather than users’ rights and privacy.
Just a few lines and hope that you understand our situation.
Thank you!
