    I can’t see evidence that it’s banned. I’m on .ml and can see it just fine. It would be in the modlog if it were banned.

    Why are you posting on ML in the first place?

    It’s a tankie cesspool with instance-wide rules for white-washing genocide.

    There are a few normal communities, but more and more of the normal ones are moving off of ML.

        There are still many non-tankie, normal tech communities on ML though.

        I am seeing a slow tendency to move off ML.

        In Voyager -> Settings -> Filters & Blocks you can add them there. It won’t prevent tankies from infecting your threads but it’s a good start. Individual blocks are easy on-the-fly.

    Friendly reminder that we can FOIA first and last names of every ICE employee and their salary, and position/title.

    Every last one of them.

    It’s a good and legal public list just waiting to be collected nice and legally, and shared with the taxpayers as per our still existing rights.

    They’re right. I’m not defending the ban, but it is political. This is why MAGA elected Trump.

    ICE is following Trump’s orders, which are an unconstitutional violation of the Fifth Amendment. When the Alien Enemies Act was used during WWII, even the Nazis had due process before being deported.

      ICE’s actions are political.

      Discussing ICE’s actions is not necessarily political, unless you consider human rights violations to be necessarily political as a topic.

      Silencing discussion of human rights violations implies tacit support for the action, so I guess we know now where .ml stands. Any claim of leftist ideology on their part is a sham, they just have a hard-on for authoritarians.

        Of course its political, what else would it be? You are talking about peoples rights (a political concept) being breached by an administration (poltical) using an arm of the government (political) as a paramilitary force (political).

          My point of view is that a human rights violation is a human rights violation regardless of the context in which it happens, and is therefore an important thing to discuss and give visibility to.

          Labeling it as “political” and using that as an excuse to hide discussion of it feels like bootlicker behavior to me.

            Obviously its important, but pretending its not political doesnt make any sense. If a community doesnt want to discuss politics (and as far as I’ve seen the OP didnt say which community this was in) then its a reasonable post to remove.

      Knowing what I know about the politics of the .ml admins, this doesn’t make any sense unless it was removed by a community moderator.

    Politics: the activities of the government, members of law-making organizations, or people who try to influence the way a country is governed

    All the comments against the decision i have seen on this post argue why the rule should be bypassed, not why this respects the rule

    The Fourth Reich is being established under our eyes. What’s the point of social media if a bunch of idiot mods can stop the world from seeing this very essential information?

    I would like to have a better definition of what constitutes “political”, what is “humanitarian” then?

    Should this be clearly defined per instance?

    Like we don’t even have Reddit anymore. All we have is this sputtering slow barely anyone here fresh fragile digital space where we can share some minor resistance, can we at least not have any self sabotage here?
