   Looks like Naomi Wu has been told to quit posting. She's fun and clever, I'll miss her.

     @Polychrome

     She is on Mastodon, unless the account below was just reposting stuff from Twitter?

     @ParadeGrotesque that's a bot account. It was cloning Twitter.
     
     She had an official presence on @SexyCyborg but that was also just an automated bridge crossposting from Twitter and it stopped working around January when Twitter killed the bridge API.

     @moon I know as much as you do. It's all in her tweet. Best we can guess the Chinese government decided they don't like her posts and revoked her freedom.

     @Polychrome such a shame, she's actually been a great ambassador for Shenzhen ... okay so maybe it's not all about business but it's great to see the human side of a place a lot of us only know from shipping labels.

     @obscuretenet I don't think I ever saw these on fedi tbh. Can probably find them on Twitter (assuming the site even works by the time I hit Send on this message).

     @Viss @Polychrome her post on twitter about mastodon was how I found my way here back in 2017

     sad to see the iron grip closing further

     @memory @davealvarado @tasha from what I see from the Tweet she just can't leave China for whatever reason - be it family, job or even getting an exit visa. Naomi doesn't want to leave her behind so she's obeying her new restrictions.

     @davealvarado @Polychrome @tasha I’m pretty sure she just means her wife can’t get an exit visa, but I guess we’ll find out. Or we won’t. (Obviously, yes, in custody would be more than just a pity.)

     @memory @Polychrome @tasha sounds like her wife is in custody. That's a bit more than "a pity".

     @Polychrome @tasha aw damnit, that's a pity. She was occasionally frustrating to follow (probably my single most common use for a timed mute) but she was a unique voice (to put it mildly) and a rare unvarnished view inside the CCP and it sucks to see her muzzled.

     @Wraithe @ParadeGrotesque it's both. She started posting here and got a bot to also crosspost her main posts from Twitter but quickly settled on Twitter and ignored the fedi account. When Twitter killed the API used by her crossposting bot her fedi account went completely silent.

     @Polychrome @ParadeGrotesque @SexyCyborg I had thought that was a real account, because she talked about not really caring for the response she got on Mastodon, but maybe I was wrong.
