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.

A good number of us on the fediverse are autistic so nuance doesn’t alway get parsed properly.

Completely fair, I didn't consider that.

They don't know what jokes are?

Autistic people sometimes process humor differently than neurotypical people. But autism is a spectrum so to say "all autistic people don't understand jokes" would be an overstatement.

Here is a site if you'd like to read up more on it.
