Fun fact killing the pope is an instant excommunication. It can be argued that Vance DID kill the pope or speed up his death by demanding that Frank leave the hospital to meet with him, ergo Vance needs to be excommunicated.

I would disagree, I would say it is normal to kill someone who is responsable for thousands of deaths, thousands of people dieing so you can make more money. It is only a collective cowardace, one that I have to admit also have. But I would argue within the history of humanity, and just normal human emotion, that that would be someone thinking normaly, you are killing a, truly stagering amount of people for, no real reason, someone has to stop you and there is no reason why that person should not be me.
Once agian i want to point out how truly insane it is that more of us do not do this regularly, how this is seen as a rare and shoking event and killing healthcare CEOs and other Billionares, who ammase their weath on mass exploitation is.
SCOTUS cannot overturn a Nulification in the not guilty, according to anything about nulification I have read thus far, because the jury said that there is reasonable doubt, that he did not do it.
First and last time this phrase has ever been said about a US cop
What do you mean potentially, he is innocent, we all know he is innocent. lets not take away his total and complete innocence
I mean no one is saying mastermind, but he did get all the way out of the main search area, he would have been essentialy home free.
Also this is reasonable doubt, and saying “he isn’t a criminal mastermind” is not enough to remove it, someone going “I likely would have done this” is a reasonable doubt.
this sounds like lots of maybes that does covering, where there is talk of plenty of reasonable doubt. We are saying we are confused and there is reasonable doubt, sure you could be correct, but thats some mental gymnastics to get out of that reasonable doubt
and you think my manifesto would start praising with how amazing the cops are and we need to thank them, and we should not rise up?
I just have to ask is it true he actualy preferes to play mario
Even with that lets be clear Mr. Tompson was responsable for many more deaths for the sake of profit, only deemed not murder because its legal, I do not care if there where 30 videos proven to be genuine, and he said his name when he did it, the jury should nulify. Not because murder is correct, but because well millions died in part because of Brian Tompson, and if the state will do nothing to hold him accountable someone else has to.
I can understand your hesitation, however there is no way to verify who is doing the moderation, as .ml like many other instances including .world and .ee show all action as user “mod” to try to limit the amount of backlash for mod actions. I can say I personaly disagree with this, however it seems like the most common of the mod log listings.
I can say they both say that they do not activly mod anymore, they are only listed as admin 1) because they own the domain and server, because of the server being a test bed and 2) because by being admin they are able to push the last step beta tests to the server for testing. I can see no reason why I should not belive their statements, however I will admit it is merly me trusting their word.
How I see it having them listed as admin is a necessity of it being the primary testbed instance, and I have no reason to not take them at their word that they no longer are the active moderators, I do fully admit I could be wrong in this assumption, however given I have no evidence one way or the other, and in my personal interactions with them they have seemed to be true to their word, I see no reason to doubt that.
I did address it line by line, I do not agree with your argument.
Where I do agree is that if you find communism so distasteful that you cannot suport a communsim sure no one is forcing you to donate
If this was a reach out saying “Lemmy.ml is hemraging money please give us money to keep the instance up” sure I could understand but what they are saying is “we are the full time devs of the project, we cannot provide the project the hours it needs to survive at the current funding level, please help us keep it alive.” and the responce is “Change the instance moderation style if you want money to develop” and I am saying that I find it very wierd that you and .world feel like they should be able to dicate moderation, especialy when the instance is not the issue at hand.
I am also pointing out that I hear the most complaints about .ml moderation from .world users and .ee users, and I was musing that I find it a double standard that you feel like you are able to impose a will on how to moderate when it is largely popular internaly, but we are screamed at if we do the same.
Now I do not know how replying point by point makes this badfaith, was it that I put my conclusion at the end and your reasons did not change my opinion?
My instance is not asking for money, the devs of the program are, yes they are also on the mod list for this instance however they are clear in the fact that they are asking for this as the only 2 full time developers who. Second they are not posting this on every instance if you look at the poseter they are from .world
Second .world DOES moderate that agressivly, I would argue that they mod more agressivly to their political fraimpoint than .ml does for any reason.
Third they are not just “contributing alot to the code base.” they are doing BY FAR the majoirty of the work, they founded the program, and have not been able to bring on anyone else because as shown above they are barily making enough to scrape by as it is.
I can tell you as a user who has been on there sense the only real alternitives where nitch or beehaw, I have not seen any of this over reaching censorship you claim, now I admit I have a bias of I do go there, my politics are quite left of center, however, the mass censorship that is talked about is not a reality seen by or complained about by the user base
I am also not saying “you must pay them money” what I do find interesting is that there is even before this a large talk about how .ml moderates, dispite its moderation being very well liked and suported by its users, and a change to the style that you are advocating for would be VERY VERY unwelcome within the userbase. The fact that 2 of our admins are also devs, should not give you the outsized right to demand changes in our moderation practices.
I cannot and will not speak for the political beliefs of the devs, but I can tell you that once again as an administration team they are suported, and as for suporting FOSS projects with creators I disagree with, I have donated to Notepad ++, when I used it constantly on windows, the developer is a HUGE Neoliberal, does not try to hide it, I still suported it, because I at the time had the money to suport it and valued his labor in maintaining it.
But this long winded to say, this is still a double standard, that you feel entitled to demand .ml or lemmygrad, or hexbear to change their moderation style, but I a user from .ml cannot request that you change yours. If you don’t want to donate for political reasons just say that, dont couch it in that you want to “liberate” our instance… we by and large like how it is moderated.
I mean wierd that you are taking does full time work on the project you are using, is the same as “so I dont have to work”
They quite literaly in the post said who the devs are, I mean if your issue is that the devs have a test bed. I it seems like you unwilling to split between wht they are asking for “Survive making lemmy the program full time” with there free time that being a mod of .ml
They seem quite popular from .ml users, i only see complaints about them from none .ml users come to think about it. Why should my instance have to listen to your moderation citiques but when I find that your instance is too lax when it comes to the right wing I get told to pound sand “tankie” its not your instance? do we all see this double standard?
It has only been conflated because beehaw and then .world MADE the accusation aganst .ml and then decided to conflate it to the program as a whole, don’t act like this is a natural conflation
“Of course federated elsewhere… Classic ml, hexbear, grad behavior” you see you started by saying it was not one of those 3 and ended by blaiming them. It seems to me your trying to justify an argument that is not founded
I am currently wondering at what point will .world defederate from everyone, and just be a walled guarden, while also singing the praises of a decentralized federated platform. That seems to be the way its going right now, if an instance has different rules, or someone from an instance disagrees with them they start screaming that they need to defederate and that they are all bregading trolls.
It is closer to a hyper loop system. For the internet to have low enough latency it has to be put in quite a low earth orbit. That means we need more satlights to make coverage, ballooning costs. However that is not the part that kills it, it is that it is in such low orbit we can expect air resistance to significantly degrade orbits. There are too many satilights to reasonably boost them all, and when they start to degrade it will be too fast to reasonably replace them all.
