Time to shelve retarded as an insult. I used it too in the past, but it's best not to use it any more.
Intellectually handicapped folks can't help it and didn't choose it.
Wait, doesn't it just say "removed" for all of you? Is my instance doing that?
It is yeah. Ml does that
This might actually make me switch instances. I don't get what the point of the filter even is, I'm not 6 anymore, it's fine if I see no-no words.
I see the original word. I’m on sh.itjust.works if that’s helpful, you can imagine they probably don’t filter bad words :-)
My biggest complaint is that I can't actually see what slur was removed, and there are some softball words in the list that I honestly don't give a shit about, so I am always hesitant to report one of these posts because I don't know exactly what they said.
"Removed" could be the n-word, or it could just be a rude word, so how am I supposed to make a call whenever I see it?
