What pearl clutching son of a bitch at lemmy.ml decided its users were too fragile to hear the word "bitch"? And here's the real question, can you read ot or does it censor mine? Because if you can read it then what's the point of censoring your own users?

Edit: yeah Kbin lets you say it.

That’s how the Fediverse works. That word is constantly used in inflammatory comments. Don’t like the rules, then leave.

Or stay and rightfully criticize the instances that use words filters.

Here's a wild idea: word filters are the most brain-dead way to deal with a problem. They don't understand context -- you can't even use a "bad word" so people understand what you're denouncing. You can't share your experience with being called a removed.

They're also easily bypassed with odd spellings by people that are going to use a "no no word" to be assholes.

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.
