      We know that the administration is willing to monitor social media to make problems for people who oppose the government, and I’ve seen a LOT of people posting potentially legally actionable things specifically relating to ICE’s presence on the platform. A bunch of easily identifiable people posting things that could be legally interpreted as threats to ICE makes the DOJ very happy.

      0 posts. My guess is to link to ice[dot]gov

      Linking from one site to another (external linking) can indirectly benefit SEO by enhancing content credibility.

      But I have no idea what they are thinking/expecting.

      This is what their account says:

    Don’t block them, aggressively mock and insult them under every post. That’s literally why we don’t have conservative subs on Lemmy.

    The simple fact that it’s a verified account is enough to keep me away.

      I don’t know if they still are now, but they were running a LOT of them a few months ago.
