Yes, unfortunately the admin hasn’t had time to address it. They do now, and should be able to update it this weekend.

I think I may have been the only mod to volunteer who was already active on lemmy beforehand, and thus would stick around regardless. The others, I suspect, may have returned to reddit. Most of them had not been active even when I volunteered a few months ago.

I’ve noticed this as well, but unfortunately I can’t give a timeline of when it will be resolved.

but legally speaking, they’re doing their job and her notifying illegal immigrants about ICE is definitely illegal.

I’m sure it was illegal to alert Jews who were about to be rounded up by Gestapo, or to hide them in their house. It was also illegal to help slaves escape to the north via the underground railroad, but people who ignored those laws to instead act on their morals to do what’s right are now regarded as heroic, and the ones who used the argument they were ‘just following orders’ are now seen as cowardly and vile scum, many of them were even executed for participating in horrific crimes against humanity, so that defense doesn’t hold any water.

There is no need to be hostile toward someone who is clearly on our side. If they weren’t they wouldn’t mention the other abuses Walmart commits.

Using it gains nothing, but does alienate people with disabilities from wanting to join the cause if they feel it’s filled with people who use their disability to denigrate others. There is genuinely nothing to gain from using it over other insults, it only results in a net-loss.

We don’t allow that insult as it breaks rule #1. There are better words to use that do not insult an innocent group of people with its use.

If you edit your comment to a different insult, I won’t need to remove it.

Thanks! Though from from what I understand degenerate has also been picked up by neo-nazi’s due to its origins being from eugenics.

But at this point I feel like that scene in Letter Kenny. I get your intent 😅

Hi, mod here. Could edit your insult to something else so that it complies with Rule 1?

Seems to work on my end.

Thank you.

Hi. Could you remove the insult from your comment (even if I think it’s justified) to align with Rule #1?

Thanks!

Solid recommendation!

What’s this from?

There’s a short video on the No Kings site that explains what the protest is for.

We’re protesting Trump and his use of authoritarian power against the will of the people. Such as:

• The kidnapping families off the street to deport them without due process (illegal)
• Illegally sending the National Guard and Marines to LA to stop peaceful protests against the will of the people and Governor
• Taking away Medicaid (our universal healthcare that only applies to low income people) from hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom may die without it
• Making ICE into what is effectively Brown Shirts
• Persecuting his political enemies, journalists, and lawyers, who dare stand against him

A successful protest would be that the Trump regime becomes too afraid that we will revolt if they keep pushing for an authoritarian dictatorship. We have already seen him begin to back down due to the backlash he has received.

Posting this here due to how important it is. Sorry that it’s off-topic, mods, but we need as many eyes on this as humanly possible right now.
