In the last day, I've found two accounts banned for threats of violence where I've hardly found any in the last 3 years. Is something in the air?

For legal purposes, I dont advocate violence, but like... it's far better than far-right sites that are advocating murdering black people / jewish people / muslims / etc...

At least on "far-left" spaces, the targets are usually those on the top or individuals that were advocating bigotry in the first place.

Are you just now noticing this? Lmfao this aint new, Lemmy has been like this since its inception.

Also if you look at mainstream sites like say youtube comments, you get lots of people advocating death for "murderers and rapists", and there are even support for mangione. Its not new lol.
