Literally the headline. Not illegal at all is best of course.

I'd like to have a sort of reverse Warrant Canary of sorts, that will pop if security is breached

On lemmy.world, expressing support for Luigi Mangione/murdering CEOs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

I don't understand how something such as you're asking would be a reverse warrant canary? Canaries get pulled as a way of broadcasting something without breaking a court order not to talk about it. How would you do a reverse of that by posting something that breaks the rules or violates norms?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago

If you don't count copyright infringement as illegal, then yeah, uploading a Disney clip or song, or Beatles music. That's probably the fastest way (on something like YouTube).

If you're talking about anywhere/Lemmy, then just upload a post like "........................?" to a popular AskLemmy community. It'll probably get removed fairly quickly, and the ? Will help it bypass any filter that takes down anything not ending with a question mark.

Of course, if auto removals are ok, then just upload something with a banned keyword or try posting "..........." to an AskLemmy community to trigger a bot that may remove posts not ending in "?".

Reverse engineer the CD key algorithm for a defunked game.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's 'defunct' but your spelling is better.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 hours ago

Our dog rolled in a dead bird and had to be defunked.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

BTW the alt text is surrounded in [square brackets] and the link in (round brackets), not the other way around

So, to fix your link

Warrant Canary

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Thanks! I do know how to do it (memotechnique is it's like a C function) but I still mess it up from time to time 🤷🏼‍♀️

"I encourage violence "

Not illegal to say that at all.

If you specify a person it'll get flagged faster. If you mention certain people you might get a visit for the secret service. Still not illegal to say but it's often treated like it is.

I'm in a medieval reenactment society, and about a year ago some people were getting temp bans on Facebook for announcing fencing practice by saying "come stab your friends!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

instigation laws are typically super vague for a reason so it can absolutely be illegal

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I disagree. I understand they are vague, I understand that is purposeful so they can prosecute how they chose.

I still argue it's freedom of speech and never illegal.

Again let's use the example of a hypothetical famous or political person. If they were to haphazardly suggest people should invade a federal building. I would say that was irresponsible, foolish, and it's fine to judge someone for doing such a thing. I wouldn't call it illegal to mention you like violence to happen.

However if they were to add things to the statement like "on this day" or "you have to because the sky is green" I'd say there are legal implications for coordination or manipulation with false facts... Saying you want something to happen shouldn't be illegal on its own.

Jokes aside I do understand there is a line between freedom of speech and causing a crime.

"Someone should hurt bob boberson" I feel is okay

"On Tuesday we are going hurt bob boberson because if we don't hell hurt you" thats not as okay. That's a plan, that's spreading lies

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago

Didney IP would probably do it lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The least illegal thing? Reminds me of the criticisms I got because people thought I drew Muhammad (disclaimer, she was a moblin and she just happened to be named Muhammad which I did for the rep, and drawing Muhammad isn't even an actual doctrinal prohibition, it's one of those anachronisms like the LDS church prohibiting drinking coke, ~~no it's pepsi we don't drink~~).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

First, it didn’t get taken down so I’m not sure why you shared this. Secondly, this definitely appears to be a troll post so yeah people usually don’t like being trolled. I’m not sure why you’re acting surprised.

Edit: ignore me, I'm ignorant of the ways of twitter.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It was marked as invisible by those in charge (except for those who can go right to it) and was the sole reason images are not coded into the top right of pages anymore. But the original question about the most non-illegal ways to trigger the censors brought the incident to mind. It's certainly not "illegal", in fact it's protected by the rights most nations have, yet it causes a lot of different reactions. Of note, even the series the character was inspired by could be said to have this going for it, albeit with a few differences. I drew her as a homage to people we had been talking/arguing about (there were a lot of people wishing death on each other at the time due to the current war being fresh), and I wasn't actually anticipating it would be necessarily interpreted as actually drawing a certain historical figure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Oh, sorry I don't understand how censorship works on Twitter I guess.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The GTA 4 mod was just given a takedown by rockstar. Not illegal, but they didn't like it for sure. So just build a mod for rockstar, Nintendo, one of them

CEO photos or criticism of israeli genocide ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

I have seen plenty of both on lemmy so I don't think this is accurate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

These two really exposed how pathetic our regime...

Its fucking disgusting to be ruled by these parasites

A guide on how to rip and emulate your games.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Any idea where to find that? Seems like a nice low lawless and high moral thing.
