I try (usually unsuccessfully) to explain to people there is a huge difference between saying something is retarded vs calling someone a retard. One of those is acceptable and the other isn’t.

Thank you. Til. I’ll avoid this situation in the future.

Oh Jesus, how about we don’t censor Reddit because that itself is retarded?

I was really expecting that to say removed instead of “retard”. I find it hard to get behind that censorship even if well intentioned. It’s extremely annoying especially when you can’t guess what was removed and it renders a sentence incomprehensible.

I thought they meant Russia as well. Like wtf, has Lemmy gone full woke already?

I also thought Russia, just based on the number of asterisks. Though I suppose there’s a lot of 6 letter r-words that could fit.

Close enough

Reddit is what I meant when I typed r*****. I thought maybe @moosetwin was suggesting there was some other R word he was worried about.
