Not really to your comment, but adjacent to it.
Here's something that most people need to know: not all black people feel the same way about that word.
Some called me an "N-word" in a positive way and were okay with me using it around them (I wasn't). Some only want other black people to use it. Some don't want anybody saying it.
A lot of white men with a lot of black friends very often make one crucial error:
That N-pass is only good for your friends.
As is any reclaimed slur when you're not part of said social minority. (e.g. removed, dyke...)
Ninja edit: Lmao I'm getting censored by either the lemmy instance or my 3rd party app (Jerboa). For reference it was f*****
Lemmy world auto-remove certain slurs
They're not very extensive though ^^
Yeah ml is much more restrictive.
It's easier to moderate but it might also increase the likelyhood of Scunthorpe problems.
