minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up28arrow-down1·11 months ago I’m not advocating violence, of course, because that’s illegal both on this platform and in real life. No it’s not. This platform’s policies do not have the force of law. Advocating for violence in general isn’t illegal; only specific threats are. (Trump, for example, is an idiot-savant at walking that fine line.)
