Then you’re wtching the wrong kind of atuff on youtube my dude

Because it happens everytime. They accuse people of “scraping the fediverse”.

Numatic shared the code you’d need to do most of this in another thread. So it should not be that hard to implement it in lemmy proper.

Well, it does matter as far as lots of people who only have passing knowledge about it will believe that it was at Tiananmen Square, that the guy in the famous photo was run over by tanks etc.

And that makes it easy for the CCP to go “you are all falling for propaganda, that did not happen, look how good we are in not killing these protesters”

The point is that according to basically all reputable sources, they didnt die on Tiananmen Square. They were ordered to leave the Square and did so. Then they were killed at other points in the city.

But of course, since the protests were on the Square and then the killings happened, most people simply condense it down to the inaccurate version of “killed at the square”.
