    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?

      Whats the complaint? Which community did you post this to? If it was posted to a community on lemmy.ml then its fair for them to remove the post, its their instance and they dont care about these posts. If this was reddit you’d have no where else to go. At least with Lemmy you can post to a community on a sane instance.

      Lemmy ML dont like the post because they are in favor of the government snatching people off the street without due process.

        It looks like lemmy.ml didn’t remove it, but their staff are certainly anti-ICE, plenty of posts there for weeks full of outcry.

        Well argued.

        I didn’t post it, I just saved it somewhere on .ml and it is gone, and found it back on [email protected]

        My question stands though, I sense that “political” is used fairly broadstrokely It almost means “complicated, longer than 5 second attention span” stuff.

        With political meaning “relating to the government or public affairs of a country”, e.g. a broad definition too. However, a free person being essentially abducted on the street by plain clothes “law enforcement” could perhaps be seen as a humanitarian, civil liberty, freedom of speech, and some many others before it being just “political”.

        Is there a guideline on Lemmy why we let the tankies be part of this or is a bit of an analogy to the r/TheDonald situation on Reddit? As in: I hope that we don’t slide the same way.
