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.

I feel a lot has been lost in translation there.

[–] derin@lemmy.beru.co 4 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, honestly that translation is correct - it just lands differently in English as the idioms don't really carry the same level of weight. Grok did just threaten to wipe out his family tree starting at the roots - devastating, to say the least.

I guess profanity filters only apply to English?

That he puts jam on his scones before cream.

Uuhh, I do that, am I not supposed to do that? Am I a monster for doing that?

[–] haych@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Half the UK would say you are. The other half would say you're correct.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago

The right thing for the wrong reason.

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Not for the Mecha-Hitler statements?

[–] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago

Classic Erdogan shit

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

More Grok bans, please.

[–] atticus88th@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It called Erdogan a Chïcķèñ.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

What's the matter, Turkey?? Chicken?!?

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

And called his country a Turkey.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 9 points 2 weeks ago

Though I actually support the ban, not the reason

is this what they mean when they say critical support?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'm surprised that Germany was not faster. But so far, Berlin is still asleep.

[–] MonsterMonster@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Wait until you see the Hitler episode.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

This guy was soooo close to getting blown out of the sky in a coup...

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I can't decide who is more pathetic.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Turkey is a new Thailand?

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well, sometimes two bads make a good?
