  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

how would they word a law like this?

how can we objectively define what is funny or not?

Nah, then we would have people vote bombing for people like Trump to get off because inciting Jan 6. was "funny".

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, that's the joke. There would always be some group voting that kitten genocide is funny

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

that sounds like a great idea honestly

"if monetizing a video of a crime can pay for the damages caused by the crime and there were no injuries, no deaths, no falsehoods portrayed, and no undermining of an election occurs then the crime will be recorded but no fines or penalties shall be levied."

Maybe let the victim pick between charging the attacker or getting all proceeds from the monetized video? Probably lead to lots of people deliberately setting up increasingly complex ways for a friend to attack them, then they split the proceeds. Hmm, the rational part of me says bad idea, but the descended-from-folks-that-loved-watching-gladiator-fights part of me would totally watch.
