Serinus is correct. They are rules to the benefit of everyone who wishes Lemmy.world to stay up which, since you’re here, presumably includes you.
The server is in The Netherlands. The Netherlands does not have freedom of speech. Calling for violence is illegal there.
If mods left calls for violence up all the time, there’s a good chance Lemmy.world could get shut down. Considering how much you participate here, I’m guessing you would not care for that.
Edit: Always love it when this explanation gets downvotes but the downvoters don’t actually chime in and say that yeah, they’d be fine if Lemmy.world gets shut down as long as they get to say what they want, when they want, wherever they want. Maybe if you just admitted it instead of getting pissed off at someone pointing out that speech can have negative consequences…

Why, when you understand the meaning with a simple downvote?
Don’t call a place .world and then host it somewhere with pathetic laws regarding the main topic of the website: speech. Well, unless you want everyone else to rightfully call out the stupidity and patheticness of such a move

Because it’s cowardly.

Feddit.co.uk is in the UK where they don’t have free speech laws. Should it be shut down too? Should all servers be in the U.S. where free speech has a constitutional guarantee? Oh wait, you have no guarantee there either because it’s not a government-run server.
I would also point out that there are lots of other Lemmy servers you can go to. No one is forcing you to use this one. That’s the beauty of the federation system. I’m guessing you won’t like a lot of the others that automatically censor speech like lemmy.ml either.
If you want a place where you can say whatever you want and no one will do anything about it, 4Chan and Gab are there for you.
Nothing yet. I’m just hoping people think a little before they do things to get banned/removed. The rules are for everyone’s benefit.
This is a post that will rightfully make people angry.

Yeah, it turns out threats of terrorism can look bad for you if they’re ever uncovered.

Ohhhh. That makes more sense now. Thank you for clarifying :)
