Strange that all the blocked words in the Lemmy keywords filter is still showing up here. Thought it would be taken out. Probably filters posts only. :-(

But now got a good list of words and users known to avoid in future. :-)

I'm not sure about other instances, but lemmy.zip creates an automatic report when "slur" words are used, and then instance admins and community moderators can decide how to deal with them. Context matters.
