I remember killed yesterday when leftists made fun of "freeze preach"
Not so fun when the shoe is on the other foot, is it?
What are you even talking about?
A bunch on nonsense. There maroons think that getting banned from Facebook for making death threats is the same as the government imprisoning you for speaking out against genocide.

Not just death threats, but jokes too
There are still people who think the government should be in the business of fining and jailing people for things they say
Oh, you mean like slander, libel, inciting riots, or specific and actionable threats?
Those things are slightly different. You have the right to say "FIRE" in a crowded movie theater. You have to pay for the consequences if it's not true.
If we're talking about posting opinions that offended people, that's a whole another thing. People can get offended because you have a difference of opinion.
I think you need to prove either damages were caused or you were endangered by someone (damages were not caused, but could easily have been)
I don't consider "a person said something I didn't like" as harassment
