I have old Facebook and Twitter accounts, maybe some others. I'm old so there's a MySpace account out there. But I've mostly been using reddit the last decade or so, and have migrated to Lemmy. Now, Lemmy is the only social media i use. Recent news got me thinking about this question.

I just want to add, that this is completely hypothetical. I was just fantasizing about slipping onto Trump's jury.

    There are much easier ways to get a lifetime of death threats.

    Yea, I'd still volunteer. Honestly, serving on a jury judging Trump you'd be contributing to the preservation of democracy in a more significant way than pretty much anyone else.

    So uh... for managed democracy and super earth!

    First, wow. Rent free and all that.

    Second, I don't want to be on anyone's jury. And if I were selected for a jury, the government is going to have to work damn hard to get me to convict anyone.

    I've been rejected from a jury pool before. Poor choice by the legal defender because of their own presumptions about me.

    I feel like saying "I do not believe in convicting anyone" is a good way to not be on a jury. Otherwise, I hear you can just mention the magic words "jury nullification" and get kicked out at roughly Lightspeed.
