It's also their fault because they so obviously and openly threatened to use their positions as petty bureaucrats to sabotage whatever they could.
If we take their claim that it was an "automated removal" at face value then it looks like their approach to clearing the trash is to have an automated check for keywords and silo everything it tags into an offline state (hence the DEI URLs and 404ing pages), then go through and review everything that got tagged manually and restore the records that actually deserve their place.
It's probably a good approach when you're dealing with malicious compliance and deliberate go-slows. Now they can't stop you removing their propaganda by dragging their feet, they can only slow people's well deserved public honors being returned.
Which I hate. I have the feeling that a lot more is going to end up deleted than what's necessary, and many people here will simply accept that as the price the left has to pay, but god damn, there's some things where I've just been looking into because I got curious and well I hope the collateral damage isn't horrible.
Like I absolutely understand believing that this was malicious compliance, but I could imagine some of the people working for DOGE have the personalities of some of the more extreme users of this site and might not even like this stuff, which I'm hoping isn't the case.
Might be just worrying way too much about this shit, but like I said in the original post, ignoring the past does nothing but harm. However, we shouldn't turn ourselves into Germany because of our past.
It's their fault. DEI puts all minority accomplishments in question.

They are purposefully removing actually accomplished minorities to gin up outrage against Trump
Malicious compliance brought this on. They were caught this time, but what have these pricks deleted that wasn't caught?
Good to hear.
