  I just went and checked. That rationale was based on one tongue in cheek ‘execute the landlords’ type comment in response to thr speculative housing market making Toronto unaffordable to live.

    so it was in fact over wishing violence on people

      There’s plenty of implicit calls for violence on that sub, they dug for a specific example to use as an excuse because of their political stance, and that example was basically the equivalent of someone saying ‘Eat The Rich’ by a user with no power to do anything about it. I don’t think anyone thinks actionable threats and comments like that are analogous, but even if they do, surely all promotion of violence is objectionable or none is.

        surely all promotion of violence is objectionable or none is.

        did they actually give any reason to believe that theyre a hypocrite with a political chip on their shoulder as opposed to just being against calls for violence, or did you start off with the assumption that theyre a hypocrite with a political chip on their shoulder and work backwards from there

        i also just dont really agree that all promotion of violence is equal, and considering the content, culture and even moderation policy of hexbear i honestly doubt that you or most hexbear users do agree with that stance
