I .. don't understand? Are they bad because they verified them? Why the "welcome" comment, that's not what Verification is? Are they "platforming" them? I don't get what is the preferred outcomes?
The verification is from Blue Sky itself saying that the account is indeed ICE agency.
Fuck ICE they should not be having a a platform
I just think there's an opening here to humiliate them more
As fun trolling Fascists is the point is to get them to go away and never come back.
Giving them a verified account is counter to that goal
No, it validates that the information is from a real source when they get banned for hate crimes and the actual real ability for that to happen is much, much more important than the actual minimal dampening of propaganda this proposed solution achieves
Maybe but I have a better idea…don’t give them an account whatsoever.
They want a microblog they can make it themselves.
And soon you understand. Which is best????? Please wake up to moves and Intelligence beyond one step forward, please just this once
They verified that the account belonged to ICE and didn't ban it for being, you know, the fucking gestapo.
Where nazis are welcome, no one else is.
..but are they welcome, though?
They've been given a platform to spread their hate. Yes.
How can you be sure?
They're verified.
How is being verified spreading hate?
Verifying a hate group and letting them remain on your platform allows them to spread hate.
I know you get this. You're just wasting my time by playing dumb, so I'm out.
You don't understand. You are dumb to be out. It's their hateful message and entire outfit, and those don't disappear from not existing in your comfort phone pacer feed. They disappear by being deleted WHILE VERIFIED so everyone understands the message. You are blind and entirely a fool
Stop using abuse to try to bait me into further interaction. You just want nazis to have as wide an audience as possible.
Your method of removing nazism is what enables them, try to mature so we can fight them together. Idiotic offensives are completely useless, there's real need in the streets now for fucks sake and you're still whining online about your comfort social media imagined slights instead of doing anything
