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
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.
