It’s both.
$100k bond for a threat that is neither specific nor credible is absurd.
If it were a first time offender threat against a normal person (which is more specific), at most it would result in probation and a restraining order.

You have to be very particular if you’re going to do that.
Jury nullification is not allowed. Voting not guilty because you have reasonable doubt is always allowed. You don’t have to explain why you have reasonable doubt.
The fact that those happen to be jury nullification is unfortunate for those who would like to disallow it.
If you say “nullification”, you can likely be removed from the jury. If you say you believe they did it, but you’re going to vote not guilty anyway, you might be removed. If you just insist you have reasonable doubt, and insist that decision is yours to make, you can’t be removed.
There’s no need to stick to the most popular software.
As long as they properly interact, sure. But critical mass is important, and I feel like Lemmy is just getting there.
Because besides monthly active users, LW has 4,600 subscribers where lemm.ee has 537. It’s not a clear cut case.
At least the ones who voted Trump cared. They may have been bamboozled, but they did show up.
Too many others just didn’t give a fuck about the direction of our country to take 15 minutes out of their day for an average of once a year.
I’m also on BlueSky as well as Mastodon, because BlueSky has the momentum right now, and critical mass is important.
In that same vein, I wish you’d treat LW as you do any other instance. We’re not hostile to other instances, and I think there’s a healthy balance right now. It doesn’t hurt Lemmy to have a bigger, more mainstream instance. I think defederation solely for the sake of defederation does hurt Lemmy.
Being a nuisance to users.
Many hands make light work. And a little bit of work to spend some time with the animals can be good (if you’re into that sort of thing).
My understanding was that:
The comment called “dragonrider” “dragonfucker” as an insult.
I tried to politely ask the OP to remove that one word from an otherwise good comment while taking no mod actions.
After a day of no response (and other activity from OP), drag changed their name to reflect the insult and poke at me for not taking real action against the personal attack.
I then removed the comment. Trying to ignore drag poking and treat them fairly where it was warranted.
My understanding was wrong. (According to users who I’m inclined to believe.)
Lemmy came through (below). Things are getting better here. I feel like we’re reaching critical mass, if only we could stop the infighting.
Would you consider it overmoderation to ban that guy?
if you’re too explicitly willing to fight back in the ongoing class war you will be de-platformed and treated as if you are an actual terrorist.
Yes. First, Luigi was attempting to affect political change through fear and violence. That’s the definition of terrorist.
Second, what do you think allowing that does to the platform?
What do you think of this one?
Is there any reliable source for this? I’ve heard there’s a fake one floating around, not sure if one is confirmed.
And this doesn’t say a whole lot.

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.
This act of sexual abuse is going to change how 60 girls and soon to be woman respond to sex, likely for the rest of their lives. These images may follow them forever
No, it’s not. No, it shouldn’t.
First, it’s so, so much easier to deal with when you have the response of “that’s not me”. Second, it’s current AI. How real do these things even look?
These girls were not sexually abused. Sexual harassment is more a appropriate crime. Maybe libel. Maybe a new crime that we can call “sexual libel” or something.
If it’s confirmed, I don’t see why not. Depends on the community, of course. I’m sure !lemmybewholesome would remove it.
Restored the comment, thanks. And yeah, the whole mod/admin team is more than familiar with Drag. It’s part of the reason I was trying to go against my bias and make sure they were treated fairly if/when appropriate.
Sorry about that.
If it didn’t disappear, it’d be $6 anyway. Taco Bell isn’t what it used to be.
