could posting a picture of myself holding a gun on an anonymous forum and a vocaroo saying I'm going to find one of the users be incriminating? my face isn't visible or anything, just my hand and a gun.
like obviously it's a joke but I'm unsure how well some of the other people took it

It only goes against the law when you mention full name, dates, times, real life locations or other identifiable information. Otherwise, making vague transaggressive statements/jokes cannot get you into legal trouble.

It's called making a terroristic threat. Refer to global rule #1 while you enjoy your ban.
Little hint: never pull a gun as a joke. It's a good way to wind up dead.

If you're not being specific or targeting certain individuals, it's actually protected free speech laws.
There was an incident on a Finnish board a long time ago where anon took a picture from his window with a rifle scope aimed at a random child for whatever reason. The scope wasn't attached to a gun, but it was enough to warrant a police investigation and he was arrested.
I can't find the pic however.

In today's terrorism climate, no one will take it as a joke, and you might be hunted down by police

yeah I didn't mention his real name, just jokingly used his online persona and said I was in florida (i think that's where he lives)

what about if I "target" someone's online alias?
I honestly don't even think anybody will escalate it this far anyway.
All they know is my first name and they don't even know what city I live in. Not to mention I have no social media or anything for anybody to find if they did want to do something
