Hey mods, I didn’t direct the r-word at anyone, specifically mentioned that it’s offensive, and suggested the alternative and legally defensible term googly-eyed chud. I think the automod needs to calm down a bit.
I wasn’t the one who did it, and personally, I think it could have gone either way, but while I don’t think I would have removed that one, I certainly would not argue against its removal. I don’t think the moderator needs to calm down at all. A ban for that comment might’ve been rather much, but a simple removal is perfectly fine.
Well, this is simply incorrect. I ran across this thread and reported several comments, bringing it to the attention of the moderators, who took action.
And you are free to have yourr opinions, but again, I suggest complying with the Lemmy.world TOS. If you think the TOS is asinine, that’s fine - as long as you comply with them.
Do you watch police brutality and think, “THIN BLUE LINE! HUAH!!!”? Let’s discuss other stupid things. Or maybe you might stop standing up for bigotry.
That’s the idiotic take you chose to run with? Fuck fascism.
But fuck ableist slurs. You shouldn’t attack fascism using slurs that harm real people. And even if you disagree, ableist slurs are against the rules.
It’s like getting pulled over for speeding on your way to a protest and accuding the cop of supporting fascism (which might be a fair comparison in that case, sure, I realise this isn’t a perfect analogy).
Call Patel any number of delightful terms that point out his fascism, inhumanity, stupidity, idiocy - whatever you’d like. But don’t be ableist, transphobic, homophobix, racist, misogynist et cetera when you do so.
hey just so you know, this absolutely incoherent response is the moment i lost all sympathy for you and decided that i had in the past reacted too charitably to your previous nonsense
I don’t understand why so many people here are standing up on the side of bigotry. I really don’t. It makes me sad.
If it takes me to make you empathetic towards the victims of those ableist slurs… I don’t know what to tell ya. I don’t think it’s a good look, though.

No one did it. It was automod looking for the existence of a word and ignoring any potential context.“<redacted> is offensive” was removed for having the word <redacted> in it. That’s asinine.
Edit: Apparently all mod activity notifications come from the automod. It’s still asinine to try policing the existence of a word.

This is some arrogant, patronising dogshit.
If you don’t like the rules, don’t use the site.
It’s you I don’t like. I thought that was clear enough.
Do you also measure your neighbors’ lawns with a ruler and report them to the HOA? You seem like the type…

Funny question coming from the guy running defense for Kash Patel.

Is it that difficult?
