I don't know much about internet in China either, but recently I tried looking through the fandoms there, and sensitive words (eg. 'stick in it') can cause the post to suddenly disappear.
I agree that fandom can't rely on mainstream platforms! Usually those platforms are driven by corporate interests after all, which eventually runs opposite that of fandom's interests. I think the start of some fandom-y websites (like pillowfort) that wants to rely on funding by users instead of raising VC or getting bought by private companies is a good sign, though people may not be as willing to pay for them at first.
iirc the no porn thing for apple appstore is across the board for all apps? Personally I'm waiting for some website to make a good and proper responsive website so there's no need for apps lol.
