I came across a post on Reddit showing Mussolini at the end of his career, specifically him hanged from his ankles in the Piazzale Loreto. I left a comment, “we didn’t get the chance to do this with Hitler, but we should make this traditional.” Yes, not the most benign comment, but far “threatening violence or physical harm,” at least I think so. A bot must have come across that and thought “beep boop,” because suddenly my account was permanently banned. It’s honestly insulting that a human took no part in this process.
Just because it’s locally consistent with its own rules does not mean it’s globally appropriate in an ethical sense. I believe that’s the point being made here.
Further to that, on reddit that comment would have been acceptable if targeted at Muslim “terrorists”, or Soviets, or any number of the acceptable targets as decided by “centrists”.
