A federal judge has ordered the immigration detention center in Tacoma to allow Washington state officials access to conduct health and safety inspections. It’s the latest in a long-running fight between state officials and GEO Group, the private contractor that owns and operates the federal facility.

Apparently, quoting the article means it breaks the rules of the community, so I will not be quoting the article at all in the hopes more people see the terror the regime is inflicting on our communities.

    The rules say not to quote the entire article. Maybe the rules should reflect what you enforce?

    Seems to me, the rules should be updated to say, dont quote more than 7/8ths of the article. But either way, I’m American, idk what an 8th of an article is. I would rather not risk the post be removed.

    Btw, some articles are 2 paragraph stubs because the story is developing, what would I be able to quote in that case?

    I know mods volunteer, I’m a mod too. I am also volunteering my time to share the news, in this community and to quote in a way that captures context of the story. If you don’t like that, then I just won’t do that here.

    Ps: use common sense. If I post an article and it gets highly voted that means the community thinks it is important. If I quote that article in a comment, you could just delete the comment if you think I quoted too much. There is no reason to delete the entire post from the community.

      If an entire post was removed due to a rule-breaking comment, please let me know because that is certainly an error. Send me the link or the mod log entry and I’d be happy to review it.

        I can’t send the link as the post was removed.

        I guess you also didn’t like the original title of the article from the verge.

        The article quotes were in a comment however.

          I didn’t see the comment, but that should have been removed as well. When you cross post from certain clients it will include the entire original text that was in the original post, which in this case was nearly all of the article. Some clients may hide the content of the cross-post although I’m not sure why. Now that I see the comments, I see that another user even mentioned this fact to you, so it’s clear that you were aware of it.

          I’m not sure what client you’re using to cross post or what client you’re viewing it from. Regardless, the post itself includes the cross-posted text. This is an issue with Lemmy cross-posting, and you would have to take that up with the devs.

          It would be appropriate to continue this conversation through direct messages.
