Because none of them work.

    My instance (lemmy.ml) censors certain words, so for me it shows up as “removed”. I had to view this post on lemmy.ca to view your original comment.

    For anyone else whose instance censors words, the “removed” word was “regarded”, but replace “g” with “t”.

      So if I write “He’s my first cousin, twice retarded”, it will mean very different things depending on what instance it’s read from.

      EDIT: put it in all in italics for extra confusion.

      Got it … I didn’t know instances could censor out certain words … it makes sense though

      I try to be careful with my posts and commenting to try to stay in line with rules and decorum but I find myself often tripping over my own tongue either with the words I misuse or the ideas I spit out without thinking

      The ‘R’ word here is a bit of a stretch as the word can be used in ways that have nothing to do with personal insults or degradation … but I do understand why it needs to be controlled because it’s been used so abusively on the internet

      It’s another item I will have to be careful about so thanks for the heads up.
