Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Omg, he slammed them? They must care.

i swear I feel like the percentage of people getting slammed has really gone up since covid

Can't they just say 'criticise'? It's so annoying all this slamming

[–] Oisteink 7 points 4 weeks ago

Or «shook their fist menacingly at”?

Criticise is too long for a printed newspaper title. Editors are still stuck thinking about how the headline will look in print.

[–] Taiatari@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 4 weeks ago

It's a whole two letters longer than slammed. I also argue that the double m is taking more space than the two extra letters.

Slam is what the kids use. Criticize is what their parents do to them.

“slams” “blasts” “rips”

We're back to slamming now? Dragging didn't last long.

Sam Stein drops The People’s Elbow on Laura Loomer!

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Perhaps he should try sticking his tongue out at them

[–] Eril@feddit.org 3 points 4 weeks ago

I really got allergic to sensationalist headlines like this. "X goes nuclear and destroys Y". I'm refusing to click on stuff like that...

I don't think they'll ever recover, slammed sounds harsh!!

[–] ksigley@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Usually when I see slamming on the internet I have to use incognito mode.

I guess it is all about who came.
