As per .world worldnews mod, no discussing naughty stuff like jury nullification.
While this post is blowing up, here's the book referenced by the shooter:

Which post and which mod? I’m confused.
They're a mod on /c/world and /c/news, just go to the modlist and see it from there. I guess it's not linked directly to avoid brigading.
Mod is shown in the screenshot. Post doesn't matter, the point is what they are claiming is off limits for discussion in .world
If you’re referring to the emoji-based name, I was not aware that was possible. I thought that was to mask the mod name.
And I disagree that the post doesn’t matter. Context is always important, but it fills in any gaps in the “point” trying to be made.
Right now I’m being asked to take your word for it simply based on a “because… i said so” mentality. That’s not good enough, and makes this post very biased.
Edit: found it. Just look for “against lemmy.world tos”. There’s a bunch, and they all read benign.
The mod's actual account name is little_cow@lemmy.world, but anyone can put a "nickname" for themselves that shows up in place of their name, and the same goes true for communities who want to change their name without breaking all of the past and current links to it.
And according to her, she was directed to do exactly what she did by an instance admin. At least at first, and then apparently the admins told her to do otherwise and not consider them a violation anymore? Anyway I'm not defending nor accusing her, and frankly I don't really care about the underlying issue much (definitely not until I could research it more fully than I have yet), so I'm focusing here solely on the drama meta-aspects.
Notably she offered apologies for her actions and also some explanations along with stating that the admins are working on modifying the ToS to clarify their policies better in the future - all of which I definitely commend for the sake of transparency and remaining accountable to the world-community of all Lemmings / Fedizens. And she seems to have some good points there, not that I know anything about the details but if true could really get the instance owners in trouble perhaps? Or at least they seemed to think so at the time?
i am not from the united states and there are countries with laws differant from the united states I was asked to remove these things for this reason
The main and secondary apologies I saw in https://sh.itjust.works/post/29086287, specifically at https://lemmy.world/comment/13815531. Whereupon she was raked over the coals, despite the short term nature of the bans, which she stated have all been lifted already nor will there be more forthcoming. It's definitely a controversial issue for sure but if anything I'm liking her approach of honesty and transparency about the whole sordid affair, whereas the people whinging seem to be blowing the matter far out of proportion. Though perhaps I would feel differently if I were denied care myself, and yet moving forward with such contentious topics I understand takes time to digest fully, especially to check the laws to ensure that such discussions are allowed to continue without causing police intervention.
In any case you may be interested in joining the community the above post is in, !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, and also !fediverselore@lemmy.ca that both discuss such Fediverse drama incidents as this.:-)
