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.

188k people like Elon’s ableist deflection.
What the goddamned fuck.
It’s x dot com. 😔
X bot com
And how many of those are from bots, and how many are from Elon’s PR team?
That's one group, though.
Bots, not people
At least 80% of them are bots.
X algorithm goes:
if (poster == Elon) intialLikeCount = 200000;
else intialLikeCount = 0;
Plenty of people here on lemmy downvote me when I politely ask folks to consider not using that epithet. While it seems the usage of it has gone way down, there are still plenty who feel it is their god-given right to use it. I've been given all sorts of reasons people think it's okay to use.
Sorry, which epithet?
the R word
Oh! Yeah, of course. Sorry, missed that completely! Hell, I only just now noticed fElon's squirt of a comment.🤦🏼♂️ 😅
