Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.
On Lemmy, there’s no good reason. But they may be carrying over habits from other sites where there is harsh censorship of non-advertiser-friendly language
On lemmy.ml at least, there’s a very good reason cause the admins are authoritarians. Can’t even say “bitch” without it getting removed.
So then that leads to the question: why is lemmy.ml run by a bunch of prudish babies?
A better question is why do you feel the need to die on the hill of using slurs?
I’m just surprised I haven’t been banned from .ml yet for calling out tankies when they do shitty tankie things.
Fun fact 1: if you do get banned or have your comments removed you’ll only know if you check the modlogs. And likely only if you check the modlogs of the instance that took action against you as the modlogs don’t fully sync between each other.
Fun fact 2: you have been in the past, here’s a link to the mod actions against you on .ml
Fun fact 3: and so have I, I only just recently finished a 2 week ban over here on .ml for calling that kind of stuff out on here.
Edit: That didn’t take long @gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works looks like you got banned for your comment.
You can be goddamn polite and still swear without automatically becoming a fucking asshole.
White liberals don’t try to justify using slurs challenge 2023 [IMPOSSIBLE!]
