    Is lemmy.world hosted in the USA? The US has extremely strong first amendent protections for speech, except for things such as hate speech and direct threats of violence.

    Being in support of someone being killed or someone who has been killed is not legally considered to be a direct threat of violence, because that person is not saying they themselves will commit the violence, just that they hope someone else will.
