Is b word not allowed on lemmy.ml?

[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

slurs in general are not allowed on lemmy.ml

Changing it to "removed" instead just drives the euphemism treadmill faster, people will find ways to say the same without those specific words. Whether something is a slur is also very context-dependent. Something computers as of yet aren't well equipped to handle.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
