Definitely this. Lemmy isn’t that big, so it pays to browse all. Just block any topic you don’t like. I had to block a lot of furry and meme communities because they don’t interest me.

I came across a couple definitions (e.g., https://www.thefreedictionary.com/lynch) that didn’t necessarily include killing, however after looking at a few more dictionaries in the top of the search result, the general consensus is that it includes killing.

It can mean mean any sort of extra-judicial punishment. I agree it’s not the best choice of words, but context makes it pretty clear that he was not killed.
