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
Some of their staff are paid pretty high salaries ($300-400k), but its still nothing like what most business executives get paid and not much of their total costs. And while they have a lot of money right now, that could quickly change if people stop donating. Its best to be on the safe side with such a valuable resource.
On the other hand, I see the Internet Archive as just as valuable or more, and I think it deserves a lot more money and attention than it has been getting. Of course it doesn't have to be one or the other, I just think that Wikipedia gets a disproportionate amount of donations compared to the Internet Archive.

Video is in German but it has subtitles, its a in depth analysis of it.
Internet Archiv is absolutely great and nowadays probably worth more than Wikipedia when it comes to information. I wouldn't want to be in a world without a Wikipedia, but what Wikimedia does is sketchy often.
