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.

Last time I checked you could still get prison time in the UK for posting rap lyrics on social media.
Interesting. Source?
5 seconds in a search engine....
So paint last time you checked you mean you never checked, and you're talking utter gibberish.
Surprisingly turns out to be true, though it was a fine and not prison. See the link somebody else posted
Not that surprising. The US has free speech rights in its Constitution, and its legal system takes that more seriously than any other country. Unfortunately it doesn't take all the Constitution so seriously, cough, Commerce Clause, cough.

OMG! My narrative!
No prison time, but a fine, and community order (I'm unsure what community order is) https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-43816921
Either way, it's a shitty response by the UK government.
Not always just a fine. Plenty of sentences here: https://wiki.openrightsgroup.org/wiki/Communications_Act_2003/Section_127#Cases
