I’d love to take it out for a spin, but derpy.email has closed registrations.

I’m not arguing against moderation, I’m just saying that maybe a communication platform shouldn’t have hard coded word bans 🤷🏾♂️
I’m not against automated tools for moderation, I actually support them and advocate for that feature to be added to Mastodon and Pleroma. But it should be an easily customize feature disabled by default that allows instances to pick whatever words they want to ban, or to not ban words at all.
The reason lemmy has a hardcoded slur filter is because almost all the reddit alternatives end up as alt-right cesspools. The hardcoded slur filter is to make it less appealing to those people… It does cause some issues in other languages and the lemmy devs know and are working on fixing that.
Heh well if you think blocking a small list of words will keep people from saying alt-right things, I can’t help ya, buddy.
If you want to prune extremism from a platform just moderate your spaces properly.
