That drama’s over. The lemmy.world admins posted an apology for their overuse of the banhammer and for asking mods to remove any mention of jury nullification. It’s allowed now.

Their excuse for the censorship was the jurisdiction they reside in something or another, legalities, etc. As far as I know discussing jury nullification in the NY, USA jurisdiction is legal. They eventually realized this and stopped the blocade of information.

This is just a summary of my ignorant interpretation of their attempted censorship, and the eventual backpedaling. I’m probably not remembering the drama well.
