    “we have no choice but to follow Reddits guidelines”

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

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

        Yeah we’re not allowed to discuss jury nullification.

          A legal part of the justice system cannot be discussed?

            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

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

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

            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.

          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.

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

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

        Discord I can see but someone who isn’t on twitter in 2024 would look for an alternative to Reddit there…? I don’t see the logic.

          I’ve thought about it as some of my niche interests have dried up on Reddit and apparently only live on Twitter now.

          And maybe Discord. It’s hard to tell because it’s closed, but I see hints of discussion spilling out into GH issues or whatever.

          I despise both for different reasons, but where else am OlI gonna go if I actually want to talk with the community?

            Blue Sky, mastodon, lemmy, maybe threads. Hell, HN if they’re programmers.

            I don’t like threads but I’d say it’s more likely than shitter

            I still use Twitter. It has a pretty awesome metal community. People I’ve shared music with for many years now.
