Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Hope they catch and prosecute the doxxers.
You don’t have to catch all the rats, just make a ‘example’ of the ones you can catch. Ranchers spread the bones and skins of wolves and coyotes around their herds grazing areas to give pause any who would think they would get a meal scott free
The identity of the jurors are public record in Georgia, so I doubt this will unless they can prove a conspiracy to harass or some such
Did you read the article? Pretty clear it’s more than even harassment…
Also, Grand Juries are secret, regular juries are not. That’s why these articles are all referring to them as the ‘purported’ jurors.
If they did somehow actually get the jury members names and release them, that alone could (and should) be seen as a threat considering the secret nature.
In Georgia, grand jury identities are public, not secret. It's how things are done there.
If harassment happens, actually happens, and they tie it to the doxxing and can prove intent or a conspiracy, then maybe we will see a prosecution.
But if strange men in white robes hang the jurors from trees that will just be a tragic but unrelated coincidence?
I don't think so, but the question is what you can prove
Spoken like a gangster, thug, and/or lawyer.
Is it a threat or an appeal to the rule of law?
I can no longer discern.
It's a description of reality, not a moral statement. I don't know why you're offended
I was not offended.
I was describing the reality of how those words hit today.
Florida has redefined boundaries by pulling out the Nazi playbook.
And I was just describing what goes into the decision to prosecute or not. That was pretty damn clear, so I'm not sure why you're trying to talk to me about Nazis or whatever.
Names yes, address no. Don't be so dense.
