@gary_host_laptop In any case, I’m not salty about it, because it’s now configurable (which it always should have been IMHO), just using it as an example to point out the bias and pro-censorship leanings of those running the #Lemmy software project, who I believe are also running lemmy.ml unless something changed recently
@Solaris1789 Didn’t the #Lemmy software literally use to have a hardcoded blocklist of words it wouldn’t let you use?
By words you mean slurs?
@raresbears Yeah, although there were some other words that were banned as well IIRC

“Bias” is such a negatively loaded word. Use Anti-Nazi-bias instead.
