The reason cited by the mods is misinformation. Not supporting violence, or any other reason. Saying that Luigi isn’t the shooter is considered misinformation and trolling.
In America, the law is innocent until proven guilty. But on lemmy.world, the rule is guilty until proven innocent, and anyone saying the accused is innocent is a troll.
Given that phrasing, I think it’s fair for the moderators to act on that comment. We’re all quite sure that Luigi Mangione did kill Brian Thompson. We are simply waiting for the courts to determine the crimes he is guilty of. He is innocent by law for the time being. That’s not the same as flat-out saying Luigi didn’t kill him.
Why would you believe reports from the state until the evidence has been displayed in public court, and his legal defense has acknowledged the content?
I may have jumped the gun and been sloppy in my phrasing. Let my clarify. I do think that OOP’s rhetoric could have been construed as trolling. They are tying Luigi’s current innocence as a suspect under trial with their assertion that Luigi didn’t shoot and kill. It’s not a sound argument.
Ban people for expressing opinions mods don’t like = censorship
