    Hi guys
    Looking at the trend of messages from USA, I noted the disappearing of ICE- related messages and some accounts apparently ceased to post: is it a my perception, or is it a sign of repressive control?

    @Davide_Sandini @fabio No idea, sorry. Could be self-censorship due to worries of persecution or maybe even just burnout. Not sure how they’d be censoring them otherwise unless they’re making large servers like .social comply. I think we’d hear of it if they were though. Maybe. Who knows *sigh*

    Probably some from column A, some from Column B.

    If it's repression, it's probably to do with people/ groups doing awareness-raising around ICE activities being targeted by federal agents/ agencies loyal to Orange Stalin. Certainly the DataFarming platforms will be shadowbanning or deleting accounts that post critical stuff about ICE, since their owners are all loyal to Dear Leader.

    But there's no easy way to censor or ban accounts in the fediverse, unless;

    a) admins/mods of the service hosting them use do the censoring/ banning

    b) they or the service hosting them are being maliciously reported to #FediBlock, @iftas, etc

    The other possibility is the admins/mods of the service you're using filtering ICE-related incoming posts. Have you tried setting up an alt account on a different service and searching for ICE, or browsing those same accounts?
