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
Why not just advocate for both services having a block feature.
We're users, not Lemmy creators. This would be like criticizing Instagram users for using a Facebook service when it's Facebook and Zuckerberg who are the problems.
Because there's no real way to implement blocking on a decentralized platform without severely increasing overhead per post, plus it'd be super easy for any instance to ignore it. I meant what i said when I claimed to understand why it's not on the fediverse. It's a logistical nightmare that would greatly increase the server requirements to host and defeat the intent.
But I still don't see why this makes users the hypocrites.
I also know why it's not on the fediverse but that doesn't mean I support the lack of blocking.
I agree but I think you’ve got confused with your analogy - meta owns Facebook and Instagram.
Sorry I just forgot
No worries, it’s hard it keep up! I was going to use Pinterest in an example but couldn’t remember if they were owned by someone else 🤷🏼♀️
