yup, you got it. comms are communities, which is why it's /c/comm_name on lemmy. an unfederated/local-only comm is only visible through the instance that hosts it. you can access it without logging in but only via the hosting instance.

e.g. people from other instances don't need access to the instance feedback comm and shouldn't be able to participate in internal discussions about instance policies.

local-only comms landed in Lemmy so our comms for marginalized folks don't have to deal with the influx of people randomly driving by with soft bigotry. we also got controls for whether DMs are federated or not, which also helps.

So, would official acts as president be legal by definition?

yes, and further that any exercise of constitutional authority is an official act.

Would there be such a thing as an official act as president that may otherwise be criminal?

in the prosecutable sense? no. the president is no longer bound by congressional authority.

And how does the ruling protect against treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors (specifically, the past part)?

courts won't do shit about it, congress will have to (lmao)

How is this ruling not in direct contrast to the constitution?

the constitution is toilet paper and always has been. scotus just wiped some diarrhea with it.

I've developed an involuntary tic every time I hear the word nuance.

nah, it was a politically conscious choice to set up something like reddit, outside the control of capital and the state. the devs have written about it.

nah, they're just good at posting. up your game.

notice when you've gone back and consciously choose to notice how it's making you feel in the moment and decide to do something else instead. you have to reprogram the dopamine hit from getting mad at assholes and redirect it towards something else that's healthier. don't get mad at yourself when you don't succeed immediately. just keep doing it and you'll rewire your brain really fast. source: many years of unmedicated ADHD
