      I read the page that 133arc585 linked. I can’t actually see the lemmy.ml homepage unless I log out of my fediverse account, I believe.

      I understand the intent of the rule, but I’ve seen communities who require “only respectful discourse” get swamped by sealions and bad-faith “just asking questions” types with dogwhistles and veiled references. In my opinion, sometimes namecalling and insulting is a necessary counter to someone spreading a poisonous bad-faith idea, especially when it’s outright propaganda. But, I’m not a server admin, so I’ll try to be more respectful of that rule in the future.

        You called me an idiot after a few hours of us talking in what was apparently good faith. This isn’t tone policing because it’s not the way that you’re formulating your argument that I’m objecting to, rather, it’s the fact that you’re mixing arguments with name-calling. There’s very little point in us continuing to engage as everything I say that doesn’t confirm your worldview is more evidence that I’m a shill. Where do we go from there? You’re clearly not interested in a discussion.
