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:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

I don't understand why different platforms have different needs. Why does Twitter need it, but every application on the fediverse does not?

Edit: and how is it weird to criticize someone for doing the same thing someone else does when you're ok with that someone else doing it? That's literally defining double standards.

No one said the fediverse doesn’t need it. I’d argue that it does.

I feel like everyone is skipping over my comment of understanding why the fediverse doesn't and the one comment about the nuanced approach.

Too many people don't understand ActivityPub's limitations. You can't implement that level of blocking in any feasible way. That's literally why no one does it.
