    Didn’t the call for violence happened to be just a mod from another instance that had “death to zionism” that stepped down after he was called out?

      That’s roughly what I remember: the threats were against “zionists” or “genociders” or similar, not any particular user by name, but this guy basically told on himself by interpreting it personally anyway.

      (It’s possible I’m unaware of other, more egregious, behavior as the situation escalated, but I think this was at least the thing that started the pearl-clutching initially.)
