  • They're not really "against" him as much ad they strictly enforce their tos rules against calls to violence due to legal liability- which, with the wrong "phrasing", talking about the Green Plumber will run afoul of.

  • This image has been summarily removed in the past for 'advocating violence'. Based on the bat signal which has been used many times in the past as a general deterrent for crime when Batman was known to be out of commission. The parallel here, when Luigi is currently detained pending trial, is obvious and as such doesn't advocate violence and yet it is close enough the mods intervene.

  • Yeah, well .world is full of neoliberal idiot mods and admins, who have about as much consistency and transparency with their rules as twitch admins, all while being packed into the poor hygiene and body odor of Reddit mods.

  • Yes, but not particularly. By that I mean there is a line to be drawn, a legal one, and most places uphold it. Lines that becoming a rule enforcer are typically associated with the promise of keeping, lines many people do have a good grasp of. The hoopla going on, if you could call it that, is due to the circumstance of what was involved, and it's not the "instance's" fault currently. Defederation is a thing and so are sanctions, and the general expectations of !asklemmy@lemmy.ml are not something many of us are trying to emulate, especially when Luigi was just another Herostratus when you assemble all the facts. Go watch the Dateline Tonight episode dedicated to him.
