This is not a murder. It's not even an insult. It's a calm explanation of what happened.
Murdered by Words
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.
The best kind of murder-insult!
That’s what I was thinking, there’s absolutely no coming back from that.
Personal opinion, but that's more clever comeback territory. I see now that the definition of a murder by words is different here than it was on reddit.
I created both communities on lemmy - I did contact the reddit mods first but they didn’t reply. The reddit murdered by words rules were a bit over the top imo, hence me changing them. FWIW all the posts here are from r/murderedbywords so they satisfied the mods over there. Do you think it’s worthwhile having both communities on lemmy or should I merge the two? I’m the only one who posts to either one so it’s easy enough to just let this one die!
Murders can be calm
