This is great marketing for Autistici/Inventati by Rubio.

Edit: also, after reading the article, how long before they come for the Lemmy software and Lemmy instances?

The State Department's announcement, meanwhile, blames Autistici/Inventati for allowing one of its users "to publish official communiqués and calls to action for U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations," naming Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Another Edit: don't those communiqués also get published on twitter?

I certainly didn't know about them before this. 😁

Imagine having three year on your lemmy account and just realizing you are on lemmy.

Vibe.

??? "Them" being Autistici/Inventati of course.

I had heard the name before, but it certainly hadn't made an impression on me until now. Please see my edit to my previous post too.

if they come after lemmy i bet it would be on instance admins of instances promoting anticapitalism and hating on Trump, and the devs, or just go after ActivityPub devs and force github/gitlab to remove all related repos, not so far fetched to happen considering the list of United States government online resource removals under the second Trump administration and now this
