Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

"we have no choice but to follow Reddits guidelines"

There's another choice, but that would require you to look past reddit.

We will tolerate these beatings because we are still in love with the assaulter.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

Oof.... Yeah I mean.. yeah. That's a pretty apt description of how the world is where it is now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, actually because they're hoping the assaulter will pass the bat once they get tired

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Trickle down batonomics

Hidden Donuts, why are you hiding?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I am? Or am I missing a joke here? Wouldn't be the first time

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago (2 children)

In Linux, putting a "." before a file/folder name hides it. ;)

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Ah shit my cover is blown, never used Linux

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

There’s no hiding it. They can tell by your socks.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

On Lemmy. Never used Linux. Your story doesn't add up!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I've only used Linux when I used Retropie, does that count?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

There’s dozens of us, DOZENS

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

someone did -la

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hidden files on Linux start with a period.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Lemmy has to be one of the very few places on the internet where a Linux based joke isn't considered obscure.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Didn't lemmy.World admins also have an issue pinned earlier?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah we’re not allowed to discuss jury nullification.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago (2 children)

A legal part of the justice system cannot be discussed?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

You can for past crimes, not future crimes.

The whole statement: https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld

About the manifesto

If it’s confirmed, I don’t see why not. Depends on the community, of course. I’m sure !lemmybewholesome would remove it.

On the other hand, there is [email protected] that got created recently. This thread can interest you, it talks about jury nullification: https://lemmy.world/post/22973877

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not an American and we don't have jury system here.

What's jury nullification and any notable cases where it was applied?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

To determine whether or not an accused individual is guilty there are two primary options in the USA. A trial before a judge who makes the decision, or a trial by a "jury of your peers" where the whole jury must agree that the individual is guilty. A jury of one's peers means that the people selected to hear the case are selected from the general populace and have no substantial connection to the accused. For example, you wouldn't put the person's mother on the jury. The jurors are not required to be lawyers or experts in any field. Just average people.

If you just wanted some people to take the facts of the case and the facts of the law and determine whether or not the accused was guilty, then you would want experts and lawyers on the jury. That's how trials used to be hundreds of years ago. A judge, often appointed by a king, would pass sentence over the peons brought before him. Since our legal system has average everyday people as jurors, clearly they are supposed to do more than that.

This is where jury nullification comes in. The jurors not only judge based on the facts of the case, but also on whether or not the law in question is just. If an individual is accused of a crime, and is clearly in violation of the law, the juror can still find them not guilty if the law in question is unjust. In essence, the jurors nullify the law by refusing to convict. For example, during the prohibition era, it was not unheard of for juries to return not guilty verdicts for people accused of selling or transporting alcohol. The jurors thought the laws ~~was~~ were wrong so they refused to convict. A much more tragic example was in the deep south where jurors would sometime refuse to convict people of lynching black people.

!lemmyworld

We have previously asked moderators to remove content relating to jury nullification when this was suggested in context of murder or other violent crimes. Following a discussion in our team we want to clarify that we are no longer requesting moderators to remove content relating to jury nullification in the context of violent crimes when the crime in question already happened. We will still consider suggestions of jury nullification for crimes that have not (yet) happened as advocation for violence, which is violating our terms of service.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not true - we're just not allowed to discuss jury nullification in the context of encouraging someone to commit a violent felony which includes the promise of absolution through jury nullification.

Or something, idk. It was kinda weird.

Jury nullification as two English words that can be spoken one after the other, however, is perfectly allowable.

I think this is going to cause de-federation.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not that the mods are aware, but if Reddit disappeared tomorrow, I (sadly) suspect most users would go to Twitter or various Discords.

What if we made a new shithole?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

then i would leave. Im trying to run away from the shit wave.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

They even have to leave, they just have to ignore the admins and become ungovernable.

But they won't, because they're cowards.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Anyone with integrity left reddit on July 1st, 2023

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You plant shit seeds, you get shit weeds. I hate the fact that Reddit has grown since I bailed over for API changes. It hurts my soul knowing I did the right thing and bailed but the vast majority of people who were pissed off at Reddit ended up back on the platform.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

It's bots dude
