The reason cited by the mods is misinformation. Not supporting violence, or any other reason. Saying that Luigi isn’t the shooter is considered misinformation and trolling.

In America, the law is innocent until proven guilty. But on lemmy.world, the rule is guilty until proven innocent, and anyone saying the accused is innocent is a troll.

    Not a good sign. The whole thing about moving from reddit to the fediverse was escaping corporate control. Not even sure why we all jumped on LW. Who owns it?

      Yup. News is the only instance I’ve blocked cause of that kind of nonsense. Luckily we got choices and can easily leave poorly-run communities without leaving the whole 'verse.

        And what law is being broken by presuming someone is innocent until they are proven guilty?

          They didn’t presume, they stated it as a fact. As he’s in court, his innocence is obviously being questioned and consequently cannot be ruled out anymore. And that aside, the evidence against him is more than just crushing.

            Thankfully, that’s not actually how criminal justice works in the US, and it would be really fucked up if it was illegal to say that a defendant is innocent of the charges.

            A reminder that your original post was that you thought it was necessary to remove posts saying Luigi is innocent in order to follow the law. It’s a good thing that’s not actually true, because it would be incredibly dystopian if it was illegal to even say you think that a defendant is innocent.

              The law part was about their complaint about glorifying violence (see some of his past stuff he complained about, though I think the last one I checked he deleted).

            Even if he’s in court he’s still innocent, until (or even after) the court pronounces themselves. Courts don’t somehow magically generate a quantum state of truthfulness, they only declare legal terms.

        Which law would that be? I wanted it cited with the references so that we can check your bullshit.

      Most people jumped on it because it’s the biggest and they, missed the point.

      ruud owns it (and Mastadon.world. He’s also not American.

        I am not sure if this Lemmy world issue or new and politics issue specifically

        Luigi discussions happen in meme subs no problem or at least I haven’t see issues.

        But politics or news, you can’t have an open discussion about any of it and israeli genocide
