If I'm not mistaken, the threat of violence came from someone USING the KF platform, not KF itself. If you want to make equivalences, deplatforming Destiny means removing him FROM a platform, and thus the person making threats should have been banned from KF to result an an equivalence. Yet the action taken was to actually remove the entire platform.

Am I wrong here?

I'm unfamiliar with KF but if a platform can't or won't do a good enough job of moderating its content and users, then transitively the platform itself needs to be blocked.

...and who makes this decision? What's the measurement of doing a "good enough job?"

I was responding to this comment:

“There seems to be a double standard with who can partake in intimidation campaigns.”
