I made a minimal website using Hugo just for writing blogs so I don't have to post them in groups as posts. Hope it's fine here. This is not a promotion. No tracking links either.

I get banned a lot because of accidentally using words that have become problematic when I wasn't looking. How about we just stop letting extremists claim all the perfectly good words and symbols instead?

Yeah, I mean, that would be ideal. Not sure what that looks like though,. It's kind of their MO to co-opt pop culture references to prop up their "movements" that are largely unpopular. And platforms probably just blanket ban to protect vulnerable populations. You just gotta live and learn.
