I want to find a new home instance, just randomly picked this one when I signed up moving from reddit.

Anybody got any suggestions or one's to avoid?

Look, fuck dotworld. Every fucking day there are posts on there crying about leftist instances, and urging everyone to defederate from .ml and hexbear. Meanwhile this is their moderation style: suppressing wildly popular opinion that threatens the liberal/capitalist status quo. They're already too big. Don't let them monopolize Lemmy like they want. Join almost any other instance.

I caught one of those bans. No explanation, no nothing, and I've said far more inflammatory things than just "Jury Nullification"

It’s also important to understand the jury selection process! If you say you believe in jury nullification they’re not going to keep you around.

I'm totally with the post here condemning this but I wish some people in this comment section would act neutrally.

This is not a lemmy.world admin, who would actually speak on behalf of the whole instance (Not that those haven't done questionable shit either, but not to this level). It's a mod on community that happens to be hosted on lemmy.world, and they are citing the lemmy.world ToS in bad faith. Just like a corrupt cop will think of some bullshit law to arrest you if they wanted to abuse their power.

I for one do hope they get removed as a mod from the community by the admins, but strangely I see very little of that being discussed. Instead there's a bunch of prepossessed conclusions made about the users of lemmy.world, which shouldn't be a surprise that the largest instance, isn't a monolith, and people don't join it for political affiliation unlike some instances. The fact the mod is at times not even receiving a single upvote should be clear that everyone is disgusted by this.

Lemmy.world users need to see this thread and this corruption from a mod on our instance, so that we can pressure them into being removed. Since communities are there also for people outside of the instance, this is a net positive for the fediverse itself if they get kicked out.

But this kind of circle jerking over how much you dislike lemmy.world, you're drowing out the actually important information, and if the first thing someone sees when entering this thread is unfounded prejudice against them, they're going to ignore it and think less of you for it in return, creating a more hostile space for everyone that has to share it. I hope everyone here that does this is aware of that self-sabotage.

Welp, this here is one of the problems of having big, general instances. As any group gets too big you get decisions like this being made. Find your ideal neighborhood in the fediverse and don't make another monolith

Glad I didn't pick that instance. They have no balls.

You shouldn't talk about jury nullification because the first rule of jury nullification is you do not talk about jury nullification.

The last US presidential election was basically jury nullification.

Been planning on abandoned and setting up my own instance when I get settled. 2 weeks. Oh and BTW https://pdfupload.io/docs/0d380e9b

for me i consider human life sacred
