MODERATORS
There was a reddit post of pictures of the massacre that were very detailed and graphic. Came out a few years ago. These were never before seen pictures that the redditor had kept for years and decided to release them. I wish I had had the for thought to save them cause I can't find that post again at all. Only things there now are the same pics you see everywhere else.
I have to say though, it is amazingly annoying that nearly any search for Tiananmen Square usually just returns the "tank man" pictures, as if that's all there was to it.
It's very likely that I saw a repost, but I also remember that imagery on Reddit too, so you aren't alone (on Lemmy at least) in coming across that post. Wish I had a link or something to help you find it.
I've never really given any credibility to the Tiananmen Square denials but that post cemented any possible doubt I could have had.
I hate putting this tin hat on but I think that reddit admin obliterated it. They went public and deleted a lot of content that would not make certain governments happy.
