While the [email protected] community has always been a little feisty, the flood of Redditors has turned much of any contentious subject into pure mud slinging. Take the recent post “Ukraine war: Kyiv claims its first victories of counter-offensive”. The discussion featured these insults:

  • cia and nafo freaks
  • I don’t think the person you’re responding to has the capacity to realize anything except their own delusions
  • hasn’t achieved reading comprehension
  • tankie
  • fascist
  • gargling Putin’s cock
  • weasels
  • So I sincerely ask you to either become a better person or just stfu.
  • loonies
  • Russian dick train
  • willfully obtuse

And that’s just half of the page. Seems like it’s time to have at least some basic civility rules in place before this community is nothing but personal attacks.

    If you can’t call an asshole and asshole, then what’s the point of it all? Is everyone supposed to act like both sides are equal and there aren’t objectively bad actors?
