Oof, not a great look for Lemmy if we now have lists of banned words.
Obviously if someone is being abusive and a dick, that’s reason to ban or temp ban them. But if there are straight up dumb word filters that we need to walk on eggshells on to appease a specific moderators sensitivities, well, how Reddit of them.
Is a word really worse than the actions taken by ICE that has lead to multiple deaths and other various injuries plus uprooting famlies because the leader of said country is a fascist fuck?
Please, stop being slow in the head
I called ICE agents [redacted] and mods evidently disagreed with that assessment
It was removed by mods with the description
You can call them what you want, as long as you don’t use ableist slurs
Because defunct_punk is wrong to suggest that the mods “don’t agree”. It’s just about avoiding the use of slurs.
Let’s put it this way: how would you feel about it if the slur being used began with N and derived from a Latin word for “black”, or if it began with F and derived from a word for a bundle of sticks?
What word?? I need a list of words to not say

George Carlin gave us 7 dirty words that cant be said on TV
The fact there are WORDS that cant be used in general is we todd did, the mods already removed the comment stating said word.
re·tard verb past tense: retarded; past participle: retarded /rəˈtärd/
Dont say this word, mods will removed because they are a bunch of Todds
Funny thing. My Diagnosis is F70.8, and I can never tell anyone about it for this reason.
You can define slurs all you want but it’s still a slur.
And sometimes we need stronger language to potray our rage
And slurs are not stronger language. They just alienate marginalized groups and make people on the left think you are a shit head.

Yes, the language we use is important, regardless of who is in charge.
What a Todd take that is
Actions speak louder than talk…
And it really isnt a slur, it is an actual word, people take offense because they dont want to be called slow
So maybe learn the language you say you speak

Language is fluid and it changes. That word has become a slur because fuck nuts like yourself continue to use it as such.
Humbug
Removed by mod
More accurately they took issue with how you expressed that sentiment. We’re all thinking the same thing about ICE.
Hey an answer instead of down votes, thats fucking we todd did
And the answer was removed by mods…?
