I enthusiastically refer you to my previous statement, especially the last two lines.
I will also add, that if you are an American who didn’t vote, you can take your complaints and blow them out your ass.

A false sense of security I guess?
Doing nothing and letting the greater evils get picked because you couldn’t be bothered to fill out a fucking ballot?
Yes, that is extremely dumb.
Spectacularly stupid even.
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.
They could scratch you up for sure, maybe poke an eye, but they’re more likely to avoid to than attack unless they’re guarding a nest or something. If they come at you, take off your jacket, an umbrella, or grab a tarp or something and open it up to catch their beak/claws and probably scare them away too.
If you happen to have something like an air horn, that would also probably scare them off.
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.
Prosecuted for discussing jury nullification?
No.
That is fucking ridiculous.
I don’t agree with it, and I am also not on their instance.
Enjoy your censorship though.
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.
Why is the world getting collectively dumber?
To where? Shitty is on the rise globally.
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.
Fluent.
Native means you grew up speaking it.
Linux is mostly pretty easy to install/use at this point as long as you stick with a main distro like Mint
What in the mall ninja shit is this?
It’s the cycle perpetuated by idiots and assholes in C-suite who either do not understand or don’t care because they’ve chosen to prioritize short term profits over making the company sustainable: Outsource to “save money”, lose money because they fired all their competent staff and are left with grossly underpaid, overworked staff on the other side of the planet who often barely give a shit or barely understand, resulting in the company having to rebuild their in house support anyhow, ultimately costing much more money but by then, the execs have probably jumped off with their golden parachute so it’s no longer their problem.
Some leadership is wise enough not to do this, but it’s very, very common.
That’s about the same population as California actually.
