User in the other stance is saying the word "charged" is wrong. Is there some Yankee court technicality I'm missing?

looks like in burgerland is a charge is a formal accusation of criminal activity, which seems to fit, but it sounds like it's an accusation made by the state under normal circumstances https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/charge

Trying to get something thrown out on a technicality. Something totally innocent people do.

shocked-pikachu There are only 2½ non-LIB instances, and lemmy.ml is the ½.

Accurate. While it's usually pretty good, there's always some threads and comments on ml which really make me raise an eyebrow. There was also this one guy who was blazingly anticommunist and I had to ask myself "do I tell them...?"

Ml is like world in that it's an everyman instance, only instead of leaning far right like world does, ml is far less politically biased.
