Oh wow.... killed as in "someone should murder them" ... or killed as in "They violated a law and the penalty for that is death and he deserves it"....

Cause the separation between those two is huge... what is meant by "killed" here? Like what did he say?

@StevenBeschloss

@realcaseyrollins I mean.. and all.. exercising your rights is a sure way to get your rights abused... Best way to make sure our rights are respected is to never exercise them

(PS NOW I am joking)

@realcaseyrollins

Yea and to be honest this is a little caveat that most people dont know, even people who are huge constitutional supporters... It serves to get a LOT of people in trouble when they think all they are doing is exercising their rights.

@realcaseyrollins

No but thats a differnt issue so lets not conflate them...

First what I was saying:

Your right to the 5th is **not** invoked simply by remaining silent, and your silence alone can and will be used against you... You can only remain silent **if** you explicitly state you are exercising this right before engaging in said silence.

Second what you asked, no you dont always have the right to remain silent, even if you invoke it. You can **only** invoke this right under certain circumstances, specifically should you speaking serve to incriminate you. For example if you are called to be a witness against someone else, but you yourself did no wrong doing, you can not remain silent or exercise this right and if you try you will be in contempt of court and locked up till you speak.

@mijustin

While im not sure the rebranding will ever be good, I dunno... this seems short sighted to me....

*All* rebranding tends to have a drop in brand recognition initially... The intent is that the new brand is more appealing so that over long periods of time the brand will recover and outperform the long-term prospects of the old brand. That aspect remains to be seen, and can be hard to quantify.

Just a reminder... you do **not** automatically have the right to remain silent in the USA... You **must** invoke your right to remain silent and if you dont explicitly do so then your silence **can** be held against you.

Know your rights people.

@bonifartius Ohhh I see what you mean...

There may be a way to add the tags back but because the user doesnt control them their order and where they are placed would be arbitrary. Therefore it wouldnt convey the same information as when its manual like it is here.... that said I do agree that would still be better than no tags.

@bonifartius I would need to know more, but that sounds like a bad default... When you reply he convention in the fediverse is the firt tag is the person you are replying to. All other tags follow it (and usually at the end.

Thats because you may be replying to a long thread chain as the last reply, in an attempt to preserve the chain, but may not be directly replying the last person who spoke.

If we removed the explicit tagging that sounds like it would cause a lot of confusion. I often get messages like that, without the tags visible and I cant always tell who they respond to.

@thor I guess thats better than WeBeatYouWithStickYouPayUsMoney.com

@sdgathman @freemo @Tealk It's an effort to come up with better safety tooling than simple shared blocklists which carry the danger of overblocking.

@gunchleoc

I think its a good approach to that too.. might need a little tweaking, but the idea of a chain of trust makes a lot of sense if it is applies correctly.

@sdgathman @Tealk

@noelle Thats probably best, or else people might need a second monitor to read it :)
