As per .world worldnews mod, no discussing naughty stuff like jury nullification.

While this post is blowing up, hereā€™s the book referenced by the shooter:

i was asked to moderate anything that is illegal specifically mentioning ā€œjury nullificationā€ and ā€œfinancially supportingā€ this has been changed now until a larger announcement is made

many admins and moderators at .world including myself are not american, i pray that the others who are angry at me and hope they consider there are more countries with laws that are different from them

you may disagree with my faith but i consider myself fair in my removal in this violation

when trump was shot i removed comments celebrating this violence when sinwar was killed i removed comments celebrating this violence so when this person is murdered i remove comments celebrating this violence

when users report these comments and those above me ask me to act on this topic i continue as i have for months in these communities

there was no good-faith and productive discussion to be had when you celebrate murder

how can you call others a tankie when you dance on graves as they do?

i have sympathy for the americans who are wronged by the man murdered but instead of violence maybe you consider reading a book to understand the world around you and be open to the power of faith to restore your love of humanity instead of parading violence

ā€œWe are not American but we denounce all violence (except if it is done against American adversaries) and only allow posts from American favored media sourcesā€

By who, pray tell? Because at the moment it seems like youā€™re the only mod on the server doing so.

there are more countries with laws that are different from them

In which of these countries is it illegal to discuss jury nullification in the US?

i consider myself fair in my removal in this violation

Although you took actions that are based on a version of the rules that nobody else has access to?

those above me ask me to act on this topic

Again, youā€™re the only one acting on this topic. Who is asking you to do so? Right now it seems like youā€™re being hung out to dry.

there was no good-faith and productive discussion to be had when you celebrate murder

Weird, Iā€™m seeing a ton of productive discussion in this thread

how can you call others a tankie when you dance on graves as they do?

Because thatā€™s not the definition of tankie. Dancing on graves is not an aspect of any particular ideology.

instead of violence maybe you consider reading a book to understand the world around you and be open to the power of faith to restore your love of humanity instead of parading violence

Stop trying to push your fucking religion on everybody else. Youā€™re the mod of c/News, not c/Christianity.

an admin/community manager were involved in the discussion with me and other moderators

they will be making an announcement on the issue i donā€™t know when i followed the direction from above to act on the reports and then to stop acting on them

the announcement will include the information

i do not know where the server is?

the version of the rules is the terms of service? https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

other mods removed posts and comments also the admins site banned people!

because you are discussing me? explain to me how can you have good-faith discussion of premeditated murder?

tankies kill without any respect for law and you are here encouraging this type of murder outside law and government how is it not the same?

you can read whatever book you want and what faith you desire

those that have no faith and do not read it is no surprise you become a murder cheering tankie

ask yourself why do the propaganda instances like .ml hexbear and lemmygrad support this and we are standing for civility?

Holy shit, youā€™re still a mod?!? Thereā€™s a difference between having faith and casting judgement on everyone else. Really fucking funny and ironic in this context.

You can have productive conversations on any topic. ā€œProductiveā€ here is an opinionated response, Iā€™ve seen plenty of discussions involving the CEO roles/individuals and how harming the public might be viewed on a broader term since these companies have been documented doing just that. Interesting conversations diving into politics, class, morality, our justice system, etc etc on all these posts. Itā€™s unfortunate I have to enter into a meme community to have those though.

I thought only god could judge us you bloody hypocrite.

I was right, youā€™re a fool. And you should not be a mod of any community. Especially when youā€™re going on and fucking on about th TOS with contents that donā€™t exist and oblivious to the content that is in there (like the server location).

Yes, and nothing in that ToS actually prohibits the behaviour you are complaining about. Do you know why ToS and similar documents exist? So everybody has the same expectations and guidelines, and we can clearly see when somebody has stepped over the line. Youā€™ve now declared that the ToS is invalid, and weā€™re being judged based on a new one that will be Coming SoonTM. Thatā€™s where this entire situation crosses the line into abuse of power, because instead of being impartial and enforcing the rules, youā€™re enforcing your personal likes and desires onto the rest of us. Ironic, for somebody who claims that only God can judge anybody.

explain to me how can you have good-faith discussion of premeditated murder?

Whatā€™s so difficult to understand? Weā€™re having a discussion. The entire internet is having a discussion right now. Some of it is crap-tier, but that applies to any content online. Others are learning stuff, engaging and growing their minds. What exactly is bad-faith about this?

tankies kill without any respect for law

You keep using the term ā€˜tankiesā€™. Do you actually know what it means? None of the things youā€™ve ascribed to them thus far have any actual relevance to their ideology. And now Iā€™m annoyed that youā€™re making me defend them.

how is it not the same?

It is unrelated, as it has nothing to do with our ideologies and political beliefs.

those that have no faith and do not read it is no surprise you become a murder cheering tankie

Nice to know your opinion of atheists and agnostics. Iā€™m fairly certain that that statement breaks some of the .world ToS. Also, when did you become this judgemental? Only god should judge, you know.

ask yourself why do the propaganda instances like .ml hexbear and lemmygrad support this

The entire bloody internet is supporting this right now. Even the major news outlets have had to change their tune and switch from focusing on the ā€˜brutal horrorā€™ to discussing why everybodyā€™s cheering the executioner on. Why? Because this has transcended the bullshit political boundaries and made people realise itā€™s class warfare. Fuck the culture wars. Want to make things better? Scare a billionaire tonight.

Oh hey, I started reading the Bible from the beginning and in the first chapter the main character convinced a father to kill his own son then killed almost everyone on earth because he didnā€™t like them. Are those the lessons Iā€™m supposed to learn?

Edit: I skipped ahead a bit to the part where the punishment for having sex with someone who isnā€™t your wife is to be stoned to death. Am I get warmer yet?

What about the part where one of the characters went around and cut off 200 penises from an ethno group he didnā€™t like because the father of the girl he wanted to marry said 100 and he wanted to impress him?

Jury nullification is not illegal in the United States, the jurisdiction this would be tried in.

Iā€™ve been searching around, not very in depth mind you, and I havenā€™t been able to find an instance of it being outright illegal in any western country. It ranges from being an accepted function of the jury, to being something that exists theoretically within the jury system but not being explicitly discussed, neither encouraged nor discouraged, in the the legal framework, to being not applicable at all because they donā€™t use juries at all.

Removing the US component to this situation and knowing that LW is hosted in the EU, I canā€™t find a single country that would impact the ability of people to discuss jury nullification on LW.

Again this is based on some cursory searches, so if Iā€™m wrong and jury nullification is illegal in some EU country, please let me know.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Create post

This is a community in the spirit of ā€œAm I The Assholeā€ where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

  • Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
  • Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
  • Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
  • Donā€™t use private communications to prove your point. We canā€™t verify them and they can be faked easily.
  • Donā€™t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
  • Donā€™t harass mods or brigade comms. Donā€™t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
  • Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
  • You can post about power trippinā€™ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instanceā€™s code of conduct. In other words we wonā€™t allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.


Some acronyms you might see.

  • PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
  • YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
  • BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
  • CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesnā€™t understand how their software works.
