So killing is not okay except when its internet-approved vigilantism?

Example: "Polititian commutes death sentences" Lemmy be like "good", but then when "Politician condemns assassination" Lemmy have a problem with condeming political violence?

(Like Gavin Newsom commutes all death row immates in California vs when Democratic polititians condemned Luigi Mangione)

Or are these different groups of Lemmings?

It's a Lemmy thing. Just like how they can laugh uproariously over Charlie Kirk's murder whilst making death threats about not including pronouns in emails.

Murder of a political enemy? HAHAHAHA

You didn't include a pronoun in your own email? YOU MONSTER!!!! How could you oppress me?

A great thing about Lemmy is that you can see what the mods have deleted and why they have banned users; they can make a hug box, but they can't hide that they've made a hug box.

    Plenty of people said both that murder is terrible and Kirk won't be missed. The two can co-exist. I seem to remember mods cracking down on humor about it. I guess that was a different instance... or something.
