DISCLAIMER: this is not my content that was removed, I just came across it in the modlog and found it to be absurd. If it’s not allowed, I totally understand.

Reason removed was because it’s unrelated.

Unrelated……

The guy was illegally deported without due process. And yet for some reason, suggesting so is somehow “unrelated” to a meme that is trying to say that because he is affiliated (no charges were ever filed against him for gang-related activity) with a gang, he is by default, guilty.

What’s ironic, is that the entire point of the meme is that the bullshit about him being in MS-13 is unrelated to the fact that people want accountability for this administration illegally deporting a man without due process.

This mod has definitely chosen the correct name.

And even taken into consideration that the instance is essentially a troll haven for wayward 4Chan refugees, they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.

      Don’t give them so much credit. He won because of voter suppression laws targeting groups who typically vote democrat, and general laziness from democrats resulting in low voter turnout like usual.

      Wasn’t there also the slight issue of many not bothering to vote at all or not willing to vote for the more democratic candidate over Israel or something? So much drama in the states…

        38% of registered voters didn’t bother to vote. I think many of them couldn’t stomach either candidate in the fake two-party system and didn’t think a third party or independent could win so they didn’t bother. If that 38% had gotten behind a candidate like Jill Stein or a write in campaign for Bernie Sanders, they could have beaten Trump and Harris.

    Yeah he’s one of ours? Is that implying that the Ecuadorian president is a member of MS-13? Also they don’t seem to understand that Ecuador in Venezuela are two different countries, although yeah that one doesn’t surprise me at all really

    The administration of HilariousChaos aren’t any better as they don’t have any control or want to have any control over the people in their instance.

      The entire instance is a fucking joke in name only. I was invited to make an account there around when they started by some kid named “Alice.” I noped the fuck out the minute I saw what it was:

      A shit-tier wannabe cover-band of 4Chan’s greatest hits.

    This is also blatant misinformation. No judge ever made a finding that he was associated with MS-13. The government asserted it in court but it’s never been proven. The immigration proceedings largely revolved around his asylum application, interview, and testimony.

    So they’re lying in an attempt to make it sensational enough to bust past due process. For an example of how that looks long term, check Duterte’s regime in the Philippines. Many people were killed extrajudicially and written off as drug dealers.

      Pretty much, yeah. It looks like they’re going on this as “evidence”

      The Justice Department shared records, not previously made public, detailing how police officers in Maryland assessed Abrego Garcia was a member of the MS-13 gang during an arrest in 2019. He had no criminal history at the time, which the documents also state, and his attorneys have denied that he is a gang member.

      We all know a police officer’s “assessment” doesn’t mean shit, but it seems this is what they’re working from.

    Nazi instance supporting Nazis, not a shock.

    PTB, clear and simple. Someday they will be mass defederated. I don’t think my instance gets them, but I haven’t been looking for more digital self harm by reading Nazis advocating for my kind to be removed.

    PTB.

    Like, I get not wanting “political” content in your instance. But guess what, everything has a political side! And the comment is completely related to the topic at hand (Garcia being kicked by force from one dictatorship into another, with no proofs that he would be a mara).

      It’s in a “conservatives” community, so, politics is pretty much the wheelhouse.

      And even considering the source, one would think there would at least be some sense of maturity when it comes to moderating, but nope.

      It’s wannabe edgelord trolling, even in the moderation/admin team.

    I mean, c’mon. It’s a fucking clown shoe running the show.

    The only question is if I’m talking about the thing in the picture, or the one that took the mod action.

    The answer to that question is yes.

    “He’s MS-13!” Prove it in court then. Fuck me I’m tired of Americans being 100% wrong about everything and then trying to sound adult by having lengthy ‘debates’ about it.

    And once again they move the goalpost and there’s absolutely fuck all we’re going to be able to do about it. 2 weeks ago we were angry that people were kidnapped and sent to a deathcamp. 1,5 weeks ago we were angry that people didn’t even get a trial. 1 week ago we were angry that someone wasn’t “supposed” to be sent to the death camp. Now we’re angry that they say this man was a gangmember without evidence.

    The discussion has moved from “sending people to death camps is fucking insane”, to “it’s okay to send people to death camps, as long as they’re gang members”.

    This post is a big part of that goalpost moving.

    Don’t let them shift the narative. Yes, everything that is happening is wrong, but focusing on them lying about him being a gang member, shifts the narative to a point where it’s okay to send people to foreign death camps, as long as they’ve done something the state deems criminal (in this case, being a gang member).

      This post’s focus is simply about an asshole mod that thinks it’s funny to troll people using a moderator’s authority.

      The fact that the guy has no criminal charges or what his association is isn’t relevant to the point, other than the reason said asshole mod chose to use as a way to troll someone.

      I definitely think LW needs to defederate from them. There’s little they offer that doesn’t have a better alternative elsewhere.

      somewhat new to Lemmy, how can a user block an instance? so far all I’ve been able to figure out is blocking individual communities

        If you’re on desktop, click on the arrow by your username in the top right. Then click Settings. On the next page, click on Blocks and scroll all the way down to Block Instance to type in an instance name.

        If you’re on the Voyager app, go to Settings, then Filters & Blocks and scroll all the way down to Blocked Instances to type in an instance name.

        Methods may vary for other browsers/apps.

        Blocking an instance (unfortunately) does not stop users from that instance from replying to you or from you seeing their comments. You’d have to block the individual accounts as you see them.
