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

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 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
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…
