Visa/Mastercard rules say that you can’t refuse to accept payment with credit cards if you accept them in general. They are pretty adamant about that rule and even have secret shoppers to confirm such cases. The 10$ minimum is only allowed in the US and territories, the rest of the world does not have this exception (https://www.visa.com/en-us/support/visa-rules#6153bdb1)
The post is in English and using $ specifically, so I’m unsure why they said it’s against TOS. I get that the commenter was European, but they were basically asking if this was a legit thing that they didn’t know because they aren’t from here. They didn’t ask “is this true in Europe”, so I feel like it’s misleading to suggest it’s against TOS unless you’re specifically suggesting “for Europe it’s against TOS but it’s fine in the US”.
