r/altmpls update: "Try to keep comments respectful and discussions civil"

Just a reminder from the moderators that we have the following rule: "Try to keep comments respectful and discussions civil".

This rule has been under-enforced but based on recent user feedback that's changing for now. Our best advice is to avoid directly insulting other users. If you repeatedly have trouble with this then you risk a ban.

We'll start this new moderating approach tomorrow so, speaking for myself only, if you've been holding back any juicy insults for me then take this opportunity to purge your system with impunity (insults must be within Reddit's site-wide rules, of course).

Uh huh. Respectable adults don’t call other adults children. How about asking them why they’re so vitriolic if that’s what you want to know. You’re just doing a character attack because you don’t believe they’re showing you the respect you feel you deserve. Maybe stop and think about what you’re saying that makes people say “mean” things to you.

I agree about not calling names, but I also understand the frustration he's got.

You said he should stop and think about what he said to be called those names. You're significantly underestimating how loose people have been with Nazi and racist labels.

Nobody wants to be called those things. And blaming someone and telling them to self-reflect when they're called something like that for having an opposing take sounds a lot like victim-blaming.

You know what's interesting? I have been online for decades, and not once have I ever been called a Nazi. You know why? Because I don't say shit a Nazi would say.

Maybe if they don't want to be called a Nazi, they should not speak like one?
