ML has always been fairly tame*, the problem is liberal programming has made them react violently to anything that threatens the status quo, and ml users tend to offer critical support of distasteful people and regimes.
The way neo/libs are reacting to this topic is the same as they react to anyone questioning why zelensky is now one of the wealthiest people in the region.
Edit* compared to the grad or hexbear or some unspeakable instances.
Given current events when you said depose you clearly wanted to say kill, but didn't want to break the rules... Nobody likes a rules lawyer.
Your advocating for violence, just with extra steps.
The wonderful thing about Lemmy is, you can organize your violence, you just have to do it in a forum, and on an instance, that allows it. Which is not the community you got moderated from. They very clearly do not want to talk about organizing violence there
A moderator who posts the rules, and enforces the rules as posted, is a good moderator, even if you don't like the rules.
I don't believe even explicitly calling for netanyahu's violent death (which is what I'm doing and vividly imagining right now) counts as a 'call for violence' as that yet unroasted pig is halfway across the world and protected by vast resources. He should die though, is that ardent belief of mine against the TOS? Will some IDF soldier read my opinion here and get "programmed" by my sultry sexy call to assassinate his leader?
Fuck that shit, I don't have that kinda skill but I'll be damned if i'll mince my words. Ill do it again, see? Someone should kill him. I'm calling for his death. If that gets me banned fuck it, that just means I'm on the wrong comm.
In OPs very own self quote, they use Delay, Deny, Depose - the exact wording and catch phrase from the recent high profile murder. That is a call to violence for a reasonable reader, and the message was not lost on the moderator.
If they had only said Depose, without the other context, I would actually agree with you.
If I said "Bibi is a dickhead who has been committing genocide and denying it, he's gonna get capped for this, it's the natural progression of things", would that be calling for violence?
no, I don't think that would be a call for violence.
The purpose of this community is to evaluate if a moderators actions were reasonable, not to validate the contents of posts for their political or ideological correctness.
I think the moderator had clear rules, and followed them reasonably.
Not calling for his death deposing is calling for genocide which is a much much greater violence.
Perfect example illustrating my point, right now people are using very weakly coded (depose) language to call for more murders.
I don't know why y'all are so angry at the moderators, nobody has told you that you are wrong, nobody has said don't talk this way, the moderator simply wants you to organize your criminal conspiracy to commit murder someplace else... reasonable given the rules of the community.
