A comment on Queen Elizabeth II has died. Parent comment
- Attacking an entity (CCP/cloudflare) is not against the rules afaik, but attacking a person is not allowed (hate speech?).
- The comment on Putin is less on attacking him as a person, but more on the state and the actions that he took.
- Attack on an entity/concept (monarchy) might be "user-moderated" via flag and downvotes if it's repetitive and bring no new information or insights.
- Occasions do matter. For example, it might not be appropriate to attack a person while the person is suffering from severe illness or recently died.
