Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I'm out, I think.

You really wanna say slurs? That's your biggest issue? You weren't allowed to call people slurs?

That tracks for people who hate lemmy's software. "They didn't let me be racist! And then they removed it!"

Do you really want to vote more than 240 times per day? That's one vote per minute for four hours straight - only the terminally online would ever want to do such a thing.

I was not discussing the content of slurs, but the process of HARD-CODING them into the software (especially only in English). Elsewhere PugJesus gives a fairly great explanation as to why a slur filter is not a great idea though - e.g. those people should be banned, not merely filtered, but not by an automated procedure and rather by a human being who can judge nuance.
