The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

They never brought charges, just stopped the investigation.

Thankfully some people saw through it, yet not enough to pressure for the charges to be taken up and followed through on.
