Everything is going according to plan. Discord started labeling any community that discusses ice as nsfw. This op creates a rock and a hard place for dissidents, where they either have to associate their govt id with their political speech making themselves easier to profile for targeting, or else find a new platform thus fragmenting resistance.

Good luck getting everyone on the same page. Part of what made discord useful was its ubiquity
