Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Is there a phrase or term that describes this type of argument?

Where instead of addressing the problem or considering it the answer is "Just leave" or "Just stop using it"...etc

It's a form of dismissiveness, but I'm sure there's a name for it.

For this specifically, "Traitorous Critic Fallacy". More broadly, an Ad Hominem argument.
