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?

    Threats of violence against users or threats of violence against billionaires? I see the latter regularly since I joined lemmy about couple years ago. I even have a “space billionaires” meme myself, if that counts as one. The former, I have never seen any.

      Against the property of billionaires. A bit more “actually firebomb the Walgreens” than I’m used to.

        I have been seeing that all the time for the last couple of years. Surveillance fetishist billionaires aren’t helping with that too. They just can’t seem to realise that the more they want to interfere in regular people’s lives the more they are hated.
