Before using the website, remember you will be interacting with actual, real people and communities. Lemmy.World is not a place for you to attack other people or groups of people. Just because you disagree with someone doesn’t give you the right to harass them. Discuss ideas and be critical of principles. Show the respect you desire to receive.
We do not tolerate serious threats or calls for violence.
Thank you for checking in, your attention is noticed and appreciated (really!). I will start by acknowledging my heavy snark. To address your point: Which group of people was seriously targeted by threats or calls to violence by the Benjamin Franklin quote?

A rule of thumb: message the top mod (first person on the mod list) when you have a problem.
Everybody else defers to them, and we tend to not override them, as moderator powers trickle down - meaning if you look at the list, the person at the top can remove all those under them.
If you see a top mod abusing their power, go to the instance home page, and on the right, you can see the admins. They have god tier power, and can right wrongs mods can’t.
Sadly, we have rules we must follow as well.
The rule in this case is a site-wide rule:
