Just checking the place out after not being able to stand Reddit and its policies anymore. Their policing of Luigi posts was the last straw for me. Going public ruins companies.

Was it the admin of the instance or an individual mod? I’m still trying to figure out the policies of each instance versus its communities. I mod a few communities on .world and have never had any admin come in and do anything there.
I’m not sure it’s good to condemn all of .world if it’s just a few mods doing this, especially since .ml is one of the main alternatives and thousands of times worse, removing anything remotely critical of China or Russia.
I got banned for ‚racism‘ in some community when I said China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs. I also say Russia is doing it against Ukrainians and Israel against Palestinians, but it doesn’t matter. I thought .ml can’t be as bad as everyone says because I’m not exactly in the liberal camp but I had to learn that they are really bad…
I’m not a liberal either, but ml and hexbear are tankie shitholes, 100%
Yeah it took me a few months to realize the extent of the problem too. I was getting modded for suggesting that Ukrainians should fight back against Russians.
I don’t participate in any .ml communities any more and I block the ones who leak out into others. It’s a real pity that so much of Lemmy is ruined by tankies.
Wait until you cone across MAGA’s who are runimg the entire fucking world :)
Not defending tankies (fcuk Russia!) but they’re a tiny minority. Normalising the appallingly repugnant behaviours of vast numbers is even more repellent. (Ttreatment of First Nations and refugees for example)
No fan of MAGA’s but interestingly I haven’t run into any here. Just tankies.
It was the admin, not some mod. They even said jury nullification posts were prohibited. It was all announced in an admin post.
Interesting. Any idea where to find the admin posts?
This is the update post for it at least: https://lemmy.world/post/22920690
The reasoning was ‘jury nullification when this was suggested in context of murder or other violent crimes’ potentially falling under ‘advocating for violence’. They decided to clarify the rules a bit and going forward, advocating for violence is still banned, but have been directed that the policy doesn’t apply to violence that has already happened.
Policy update seems reasonable at least. I’m curious where we could find the policies of other instances. Maybe I would move my communities if I found a better fit.
It ended up becoming more reasonable after it was pointed out that jury nullification is a real thing and restricting discussion about a legal term is… kinda nuts? The justification that they gave for restricting it was pretty flakey too: There are no legal cases where a website was held liable for not deleting jury nullification discussions (which is doubly ridiculous because, at least for now, website hosts are also protected as common carriers, which means they are 100% not legally responsible for what their users post, regardless of what it is outside of very specific circumstances where they would be obligated to remove it like a DMCA takedown notice.
