Facebook has over 2.5 billion monthly active users, which is not a "community" under any definition of the word. In my view, the fairly intuitive human instincts for being in a community simply can't be applied to such a diverse range of groups, cultures, and languages.

2.5 billion, in which each individual only sees its own echo chamber. Implying it isn't smaller groups makes it sound as if everyone see's everyone else's posts, which is not the case.

I don't like to default to 'andsowhat' approach, but this type of conversation tends to lead there. If we are go there, what is this abusive behavior?

Abusive behavior is behavior which Facebook decides turns away the users they want to keep.

So basically no standard. Can you see why it is a good idea not to try to keep pipes as dumb as possible?
Facebook is in control of what type of community they want their social network to be. At some point users may make a decision that they no longer want to be part of a community which tolerates certain behavior and Facebook will need to make a decision between a hands-off approach and a community that people want to be a part of. Facebook is reaching this point now.
