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

        it does make sense, since sports is political, and most conservative watch it, its more eyes for recruitment. theres also plenty of Poc joining ice apparently too.

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

      blocking works better there’s a reason why the white house accounts haven’t posted in like two months

        It’s not for them. The mockery is for all of the audience to see. It’s propaganda too.

      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:

      U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

      @icegov.bsky.social

      433 followers

      8 following

      Protects America through criminal investigations and by enforcing immigration law to preserve national security and public safety.

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

      Would you prefer they only let people you agree with on the platform?

        Literally yes.

        If you “disagree” on human rights, you don’t get a platform.

        “Oh so you want to have CSAM on the platform?”

        Just misrepresenting the position you’re holding in the same way you are doing to others.

        Well, maybe not quite that far but not letting Nazis hang out at the party would be a start.
