Aah, sorry, so jury nullification is a legal concept that basically says if a jury thinks someone should not be punished for a crime, even if they are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt as proven by the evidence presented, they are still technically allowed to rule not guilty. This might be because they think the law itself is unjust, the circumstances of the crime still warrant a not guilty verdict, or some other reason entirely.

Not surprisingly, it’s a controversial subject, but it is an established legal concept in the United States and, even if certain people try to quash discussion of it or spread awareness of it, it is 100% lawful. In my opinion, censoring legal discussions in this way is a step too far and claims of liability are very overblown.

If I am understanding your question correctly: It means I am not on lemmy.world, I’m on sh.itjust.works, which is federated with lemmy.world but our users are not hosted on your website. I am reading this and posting from a different website.

So you can post to other instances of lemmy like sopuli.xyz or startrek.website as well as your own home instances, as long as they are federated (connected). If you find you don’t like how one instances is being run, you can always stop using it and register with a different instance (website) while still being able to post to various Lemmy instances.

I don’t buy that argument: Almost nobody knows what lemmy.world even is and removing discussion of jury nullification (which is what they outright said) isn’t even something that sites that have actual significant user bases are doing. It’s a step too far.

To where? Shitty is on the rise globally.

American here: It’s a Christmas movie for sure, whoever you were talking to was talking nonsense IMO

You could always move to a better instance, one of the advantages of the fediverse.

Really? Jury nullification???

Glad I didn’t join your instance because that is fucking insane.

We used encyclopedias, first physical, then virtual.

Also, there was the public library (which was, and still is, awesome).

Overall? Meh.

I don’t hate it, but they’re not great either.

There’s definitely regulars I recognize, but still plenty more I don’t.
