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.

George Takei is paying for a checkmark over on that dumpster fire?
It looks like his post is on threads? Not that that's really better, but it is a different kind of bad.
Amazing that they look so similar to the untrained eye.
That's a good question. I wonder if they give them to celebrities to drive engagement and incentivize average users paying for them.
They definitely do, I distinctly remember Stephen King making a big scene because they kept on giving him a verification check he didn't want
Takei is one of the GOATs but he should understand the bigoted nest of vipers over there more than most. Engagement only fans those flames, regardless of perspective.
Yeah. I wonder what would happen if half of all celebrities switched to Lemmy overnight?
fwiw Takei is also on Mastodon.
following takei sucks though, it's very very seldom that he shares anything worth looking at
Cool! Does Mastodon interface with Lemmy at all?
Yes, but it's...kind of awkward, at times.
