Welcome to Lemmy :)
You will be less likely to be banned. Still, be reasonable, tactful and don't be a dick about it, even if I get that you came here to express your genuine feelings.
"Kill [person of interest]" is off limits here and on many other servers, but there are ways you can describe how your frustration in ways that aren't illegal or personally charged. "Fuck [person of interest]" is nearly universally allowed here. Even if not banned, the outcome of whether you are upvoted to heaven or downvoted to hell will depend on the person and the context.
