      I literally saw you arguing something was a call to violence in YPTB today, when it was just someone having an opinion on current events. People already left a long while back, and I’m willing to bet traffic isn’t increasing as much as it is on more diverse comms. I abandoned it for reading news from various sources on country-specific instances.

        LOL - Saying we need blood right now to water the tree of liberty IS a call to violence. If you disagree, that’s fine, we don’t need that polluting our communities.

          Saying we need blood right now to water the tree of liberty IS a call to violence.

          That would be true if that’s what was said.

          But looking back, they actually said they that they fear that time has come.

          Expressing a credible fear of violence isn’t a call for violence.

            We don’t give the benefit of doubt on things like that. It’s too easy to try and avoid responsibility by using weasel words.

            “I’m afraid that…” can equally mean “I hate to say it but…”

            So, yeah, erroring on the side of caution means the comment gets removed.

            Same with the Nazi Bar premise:

          k bro, and THIS is why no one posts more diverse content in your communities 👏 because fascists being violent is fine but when people suggest violence back you throw hissy fits like this one

          edit: and despite that, they weren’t even suggesting it. they made an observation, not an incitement
