Unfortunately the problem with "legal websites" is that they generally know enough about the law to push a message without having to provide anything to back it up.
That's not a dig at you or your opinion, just something I find frustrating.
You can prevent child porn and everything from federating in, you just have to restrict your instance. lemm.ee does not allow any images to be locally hosted. It becomes a bit of a hassle having to manually host something somewhere else, but that's how reddit started out so nae bother.
Defederation is absolutely a valid tool to deal with spam instances. It's less of a valid tool for dealing with voices and opinions you don't like.
Unfortunately, sometimes it can be hard to differentiate between the two.
lemm.ee has hexbear, and I can feel the admin writhing while he allows them to persist - even after they banned me entire for "capitalist apologia", "Genocide denial" and "Pro-zionist Lib , Get f*cked Ben Hazir !!!" - all of which would classify as the crime of defamation.
But, at the same time, I wouldn't have those bullshit definitions if I didn't face them head on and call them out for their bullshit, using open modlogs where they themselves can't hide.
That absolutely is not what impeachments is.
I wasn't trying to say that was what impeachment is, rather that is what impeachment is like.
Impeachment is inredibly serious and rare. What we have faced is nothing like anything the founding fathers could have predicted. As such, any textual analysis would be flawed - the Founding Fathers could not - and WOULD NOT - have allowed Trump.
Trump has already far surpassed this line in the sand, not just from my own personal viewpoint but from the view point of almost every point of reasoning. I can confidently say that Trump instigated insurrection and is guilty of such far beyond the justification of any reasonable proceedings, such that I can do so without any real fear of reprecussions from the legal system - Donald Trump is objectively proven to be a criminal and a conman.
People who deny this fact are simply delusionsal and have no bases beyond being bitter losers to say otherwise.
Donald Trump is a loser, and his supporters are merely gullible losers who are also poor.
I almost wish everyone hadn't defederated from hexbear so that we had more stories of the mental gymnastics justifying continues support of Putin after he banned being gay.
There is some validity in it, but not enough oversight. Far too often it becomes an excuse for illegitimate bad behaviour.
They should let everyone record their own phone calls.
Running custom firmware and having that option in my calls - and living in a jurisdiction that deals in "expectations of privacy" rather than this bullshit "two party consent" is a godsend.
That's a fair bit more serious, and much harder to prove. To convict this guy of treason, you would also need to convict Trump of treason, and both would need to be proven beyond reasonable doubt - ie it is more than 99% certainly true.
Defamation is a civil claim, which means it is decided on the balance of probabilities. This means whichever side tips the argument past 50%.
I was gonna say you missed his bald phase, but then I saw the joke.
I wish Biden would sue him for defamation.
Not only are they annoying, they go half way to legitimising the theft of user data.
