  • Impeachment is what the House does, and it is basically a formal accusation. It then goes to the Senate for conviction, which if successful results in removal.

    Given that the Rs in both chambers are complicit in Trump's actions, neither of his impeachments resulted in a conviction, and he is equally unlikely to be impeached under the current Congress.

  • From my perspective, the people who are participating in this community aren't even lemm.ee members, but they are by their nature putting an undue moderation load onto the lemm.ee instance. If they absolutely want to have their own echo chamber, then they can create it on their home instance instead of taking advantage of the looser rules here.

    Again, from my perspective, even if they aren't technically violating any rules now, it's just a matter of time before they start to push the boundaries. I expect this will happen sooner if a large number of users block the community, thus drastically reducing the number of people who are likely to report malicious activity who are also reading the content.

    I would rather have them take their content back to thelemmy.club, lemmy.today, lemmy.lol, or lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org than continue to have it hosted here.

  • The problem with this idea is that lemm.ee does not have strong moderation and content rules, and that is the exact sort of environment that extremism worms its way into and takes advantage of. I don't expect the admin team to have the time to police the community with a fine enough comb to catch all of the bad content, and I don't trust the moderators of any self-titled conservative community to do that job properly.

    These communities are ultimately more trouble than they're worth, and as such I would prefer to see them shunted away from the major servers. Let them build their own hexbear, lemmygrad, or ml. But I don't think that their regressivism and bigotry have any place here.
