Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

MODERATORS
This was nothing. I’ve had more abuse in the two months I’ve been a mod than I have in my entire life! But thank you for the support, I appreciate it!
:(
Quit being a Mod then ?
I don't even see why we need mods TBH ...
We're all here to discuss / talk / debate / argue ETC/Socialize
Everyone be different...
Maybe if a person got blocked like 50 times the system should auto ban them or something...
Otherwise I don't see why people aren't allowed to be themselves, especially on the ethernet
Then you are a fool
Maybe... But I enjoy being myself...
Ya kno what I mean?
Without mods the trolls, bigots, and people just looking to argue and stir up shit completely ruin the community for the users looking to socialise/discuss etc. That nearly happened on this post with one user being so insulting, aggressive and argumentative I had to ban them. They made about 10 comments that broke the rules in under an hour and were borderline inciting violence against poor people. No one wants to socialise in an environment like that.
Also by creating a community here, I’m bound by feddit.uk’s rules and Lemmy’s code of conduct. If I don’t moderate, this whole community will be banned. I enjoyed the Reddit sub, I want to enjoy the community here too. If the only way I can do that is to enforce pretty basic rules, then so be it. I just wish people would stop calling me a power hungry narcissist plus a whole dictionary full of insults when I don’t deserve them.
You're right 👍
Stày strong Mod... Don't let 'em get to You. Take a break 😴 if Ya need to.
Reddit... I very much dislike reddit cause it seems like they were watching/ moderating my DMs with a friend... Whether they was using bots/AI to do it ; idk. But getting warnings when my friend n I were just joking around about something privately sucked.
I wasn’t a mod on Reddit so I can only speculate, but I imagine that came from the admins not the moderators. It’s probably buried in the ToCs somewhere that your messages are monitored 😠FWIW, mods on lemmy/kbin definitely can’t see your private messages. Whether kbin can monitor your messages probably comes down to your instance owner/admin. I’d very much like to think that doesn’t happen but it might be worth looking into.
