I'm on lemmy.ml but as I'm French, I was reading this comment and was surprised to see removed instead of the french word for "late".

Is there anything I can do on my end or is it a server setting and I should move to a French one?

When have you seen calls for murder?

I don't think a lot of people are using the "guillotine landlords" imagery ironically.

are executions murder, though?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I mean, yes? Although generally speaking, the word execution is reserved for cases where they've been deemed to deserve it.

For example, most of the executions ordered during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution were simply murders of people who were even suspected of dissent.
