This is exactly the determination. The post being spread around as evidence of harm was by a user with four posts, all within the last week, all on this thread, despite being a member for two years.
If I were trying to get a website deplatformed at least the approach is clear and easy.
It is far more than just a few posts. It goes far beyond speech online.
The entire history/founding of KF is predicated around violence perpetrated against trans people.
They actively stock, harass, and cause harm IRL. Even far-right anti-trans people like MTG allege they were behind the SWATs against her - and that is not the first accusation.
This has resulted in deaths.
They recently followed a women into a different country, after they chased her from their home.
They tracker her down and someone posted a photo outside of her new residence.
like a cartel hostage sign. A not so implicit threat that they can find you no matter where you hide and are an IRL person is literally a hundred feet away.

The distinction the parent post making is that, it was an agent provocateur who intentionally did things that would have crossed the line into actionable threats of harm. If that's true, it would seem to be an effective way of silencing people.
This also is how authoritarian governments create cause to neutralize groups.
Looking through that lens there are/were far more than one agent provocateurs. and in that case what's the difference.
Where can I find these posts?
You can’t. For your protection we have censored the proof that justifies why we were right to censor it…
... but your callous demand has been noted. We're watching you.
You can search their profile on kiwifarms dot ru to get all information you want.
Whose profile?
