This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin' in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

So you established that lying under oath is illegal. So the knowledge of how jury nullification works and answering that you have no idea / intention to do it when you do is illegal. So now in the context of this thread - calling people to knowingly lie under oath and nullify the jury is illegal. You even called it "naughty stuff". So stop being a pedant and saying "oh but people might not know about it and do it" yeah, they can. Doesn't mean someone spreading the info on how to do it and encouraging it isn't calling for a crime to be committed.
In reference to the comment from the mod. Stop taking my words out of context.
We are discussing legal terms here. Jury nullification is not illegal. Lying under oath is. They are two separate things. Declaring that jury nullification is illegal is wrong.
Would you kindly point to any instance where I advised lying under oath?
