  • Yeah, once I noticed the post title it made sense why you removed the comments.

    But even without that:

    But mods can be stricter than the instance.

    It’s ridiculous that people leap to the “.world is full of pro-corprate fascists” because they disagree with a single mod.

    There’s more than few instances I dont like, so I’ve blocked them and never see them. I don’t know why people with the axe to grind against .world dont do the same thing.

    Edgy kids just want to find the line and then constantly put their toes over it and claim nothing is allowed because they personally crossed a line.



  • Devils advocate:

    you may use physical force upon another person when and to the extent you reasonably believe such to be necessary to defend yourself or a third person from what you reasonably believe to be the use or imminent use of unlawful physical force by such other person.

    Luigi can claim he believes it’s unlawful…

    It doesn’t have to actually be unlawful.

    His lawyers can start talking about why it’s lawful for insurance companies to decline claims based onnshitty AI.

    Opening up a huge can of worms because records disclosed in this can be used for civil trials later…

    Especially class actions for people the AI denied wrongly.

    Like, dude allegedly executed a CEO in broad daylight, why wouldn’t he want to try and steer this court case towards that stuff?


  • No idea why you’re being so vague…

    This?

    Looks like a mod replied and then deleted so not sure what they said.

    But yeah, those comments don’t seem to violate .world’s TOS, and I have no idea why a mod would have deleted them. But mods can be stricter than the instance.

    I’m not sure why you’re blaming the whole instance for what one mod is doing.

    Edit:

    The thread title is “how to fight fascism” which is important context I missed earlier.

    So yeah, the first comment saying just “Luigi” could very easily be considered a call to violence. Then the next one say “did nothing wrong” also makes sense to remove.


  • It’s actually not always wrong…

    Legally speaking:

    In most countries, it is lawful for a citizen to repel violence with violence to protect someone’s life or destruction of property.[3]

    The scope of self-defense varies; some jurisdictions have a duty to retreat rule that disallows this defense if it was safe to flee from potential violence. In some jurisdictions, the castle doctrine allows the use of deadly force in self-defense against an intruder in one’s home. Other jurisdictions have stand-your-ground laws that allow use of deadly force in self-defense in a vehicle or in public, without a duty to retreat.

    Not saying it’s perfect, but it’s likely the defense he’ll use if not denying he pulled the trigger.

    They’d just have to convince a jury that denying healthcare which causes injury and death to a shit ton of Americans is a use of imment force and this action would have lessened it.

    If they show that after the shooting less claims were denied…

    It probably won’t work, but that’s the path to jury nullification without saying jury nullification is our defense.

    Under the New York Penal Law Article 35, you may use physical force upon another person when and to the extent you reasonably believe such to be necessary to defend yourself or a third person from what you reasonably believe to be the use or imminent use of unlawful physical force by such other person.

    Tilem & Associates points out in an article that the term “reasonably” is used twice in the law mentioned above. Both your belief that force is being used or about to be used and your belief that your use of physical force is necessary to stop the attack must be reasonable under the circumstances if you want to successfully use the defense of justification.

    It’s a sound legal defense, and as far as I know it’s his only option.

    But as always: IANAL


  • A comment was removed that simply said “Luigi did nothing wrong”, which aligns with your first example. The reason given was “wrongful advocacy”, which suggests having a positive opinion of Luigi is against TOS.

    Waaaay back when it happened (feels like months but wasn’t it just a few weeks?) there was a mod who didn’t understand things and removed some comments they shouldn’t. What I remember blowing up was removal of a comment just mentioning jury nullification was a thing. The mod thought because you’d get removed from a jury for talking about it, it was against US law to talk about it.

    Which is incredibly ignorant.

    Going off memory tho admins stepped in quickly and clarified what was ok.

    So if you want to talk about a past issue and how it was resolved, that’s fine.

    But it’s a different conversation than what we’re having, which is about post admin clarification







  • Means absolutely nothing because by the end of the “looking into” period, trump will be in charge.

    The rule, which will undergo a 120-day period for public comments, comes in response to what administration officials described as a need to protect national security while also clarifying the rules under which companies in trusted partner countries could access the emerging technology in order to promote innovation.

    Stop giving Dems credit for “looking into” whether they’re going to do things.

    Because when we do, they never make it past that point. They already got the pat on the head.

    It’s like managers who only care about tracked metrics, rather than helping the American people so they support Dems, they just want to skip straight to “people like us” and empty promises are the quickest route to that.

    Unless people stop clapping till shit actually happens
