It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Some things about the internet never change. Like some people not detecting jokes

They could've detected it and still not thought it was funny, comedy is famously difficult.

Does the fact that it's a joke make it any less ageist? Historically, jokes have been a very common way for racism and sexism to spread. It makes it socially acceptable and desensitizes people to the harm that's actually being communicated. "It's just a joke bro" does NOT excuse.
