    wouldn’t this policy instantly seem inappropriate?

    Out of context, yes. However, lemmy.world has been banning people for jokes or PERCEIVED call for violence.

    It feels more like a “I’m having a bad day and i’m taking it out on you.” On top of that, the incresing amount of fake news sites or uncreditable news outlets is alarming. If the goal was to be reddit 2.0 , Mission accomplish.

    At what point is a statement which incites violence “violating site rules” and at what point is it “legitimate discussion of impending hostilities”.

    I feel this should be the point if his threat is carried out. Everything up to this point could be argued in a manner that it is still, no matter how crazy it sounds, in hia scope of power. Removing an elected political adversary due to their political party would mean starting over with a constitution.
