The executive says they can be used in DC without restriction. That's never been established in law and relies on an interpretation where the NG under the control of the federal government is not federalized. There's currently a court case against the deployment and the stays thus far have not addressed Posse Comitatus though they have allowed them to stay in place.
So far the enemies of the United States seem to be litter and low-priority landscaping jobs.
No they can't, they just have an easier time federalizing them. Posse Comitatus still applies.
Speculation about future lack of admin action is not a reason for defederation. Just do it when it happens. This is very obviously a personal spat raised to extremes.
If an instance had an open Nazi admin, the problems would be much more extensive than an edgy name. Unless you think antizionism itself should be purged from society, the problem with OP is the "murder" part, which is just edginess. A server tolerating edgy maximalism against an ideology associated with apartheid is not the same thing as tolerating Nazis. If you're a co-admin with a Nazi, you're a Nazi, while most of us have known people who we'd characterize as being on the right side of an issue but going overboard in their responses.
Do you think .world should defederate from any server where an admin has talked about guillotines or eating the rich? Or said "the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi"? Or posted an image of a klansman hanging from a noose?
An edgy admin is not a server wide problem. World could solve their problems with their username with a ban. Users on AN weren't systematically violating .world's rules.
Then they can ban them too. Defederation is for server wide problems.
A ban from .world. No one else needs to ban OP for world's rules.
That sounds like a perfectly good reason for a ban, not defederating an instance.
Jesus, I'd forgotten that the NG was still in DC. Seems like they're already violating the law. They can't police and there's no "emergency", so what's the justification?
These seem totally inadequate. According to the Department of Agriculture, a complete meal is supposed to be "a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla and... one other thing".
So he's going to recuse himself from all future cases involving progressive groups, right?
The old timers have been itching to go mask off fash for so long. They could just maintain the illusion of judicial objectivity for a couple more years and be more effective to their rotten cause, but this guy has been floating around social events with Heritage ghouls for decades now and he wants to be free to join in with his friends.
Jordanlund removed a post in news@lemmy.world because I, not even the post author, disagreed with his view of how moderation should work.
For extra pettiness, he removed my comments before removing the whole post.
If only the courts could actually respond to major governmental overreach in a timely manner the general public wouldn't have $166B stolen from them. They somehow always defer to just letting the administration do the thing even when it's a major change and doing so causes injury to regular people who cannot recoup it.
This could have been quashed in May 2025 when the lower courts ruled against an obviously unconstitutional usurpation of the power to lay tariffs. Instead they stayed the ruling at each appeal and waited until the Supreme Court found the exact same result as every lower court in December. And that was them moving quickly.
