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?
Iirc, lemmy.ml is a specifically leftist instance, right? They may have banned the word because of its sexist nature. A bit like allowing fuck, but not allowing the other f word that generally applies to gay men. Swearing isn’t the issue, slurs or derogatory terms are.
The text in the german flag area translates to
You can swear on the internet. Violence? Gore? No problem!
A bad word? Son of a removed, we’re all going to die.
Edit: Wtf, there is a swear filter? Fuck.
