Antik is one of the admins of lemmy.world. He holds administrative authority over the entire forum rather than being specifically involved as a moderator here. He could have removed the comment himself, but he chose to request you change it instead (which I would have also done, had he not already handled it).

As a moderator of this community, I'd like to express our shared sentiment. The use of the term "retard" as an insult is something we discourage. Its appropriateness in language has evolved over time, and it's increasingly considered inappropriate due to its derogatory associations, regardless of its original meaning. Language is subject to change, and words that were once commonplace are regularly perceived as offensive now. Regardless of personal views on the word, if the admins have deemed it unsuitable for use on this platform, it's something that we will also enforce.

There is an abundance of other words that effectively convey your message.

I don't know where he would get a ring.

He clearly still wants a pretty big role in the offense wherever he is, and has now quit on 3 teams in a row. I'm not sure why any contender with a good culture would want to add that. It's not like he's some incredible spot-up shooter that could fall back into a primarily 3-point guy, his career percentages are drastically better off the dribble. It's not like you're adding the corpse of Steph Curry here, who would presumably still be able to launch 3s at a high % clip.

I am dead inside. Thank goodness baseball and football can hold my attention through February without worrying about the dumpster fire Sixers

We encourage people to do this for Fox News links.

While Fox News isn't actively blacklisted at this time, our stance is that we do prefer other sources/outlets if the same story is available. As I mentioned in another comment, we read both of these articles and they contain basically the same content, so we left this post up, and that is basically how these posts are being evaluated at this time (checking to make sure they aren't misleading/reporting incorrect information).

Also as mentioned in my other comment, we do also understand that a lot of users do not want to click Fox News links and support them, so I do also encourage people to post links to other outlets in the comments so users can still read the article if they choose to do so.

https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-chart

This is the chart I sent to the mods over a discord message.

Basically, anything in the middle three columns would be "preferred" and the furthest left and right columns would be "not-preferred". Again, stuff from the furthest left and right columns are not subject to instant removal and some could still fly if you can't find another site posting the content, but generally, it isn't that difficult to find another source that wrote an article about the same topic.

It would be ridiculous to think there are totally "non-biased" sites, the goal here is really just to not have constant posts from Fox News or the Huffington Post, let alone sites that veer even further in either direction, with the endgame being that this doesn't wind up being a massive echo chamber of a community for any particular political leaning.

Edit - Open to suggestions about said chart, and other sites users think fall into any of the categories

This comment has been up for two minutes and has been reported twice. I'm leaving it up as to give you the same leeway as OP using the insult "tool" and removing your comment would basically result in me removing the post as a whole, however, you've directed it at him, whereas OP was a broad statement, and everyone just calm down please

Edit - If you're wondering why these comments are now removed, it's because the user edited both of them to add further insults after the warning

I've received numerous reports on this post now, and I'm doing my best to leave it up. Please refrain from personally insulting people here (i.e. the post title and update). Still leaving it up for now.

It has nothing to do with "wrongthink" and everything to do with very blatant transphobia, which is not welcome in this community nor is it welcome on the lemmy.world instance as a whole if you checkout the instance wide rules.

Locking this, getting reports on about 95% of the comments that come in for transphobia.

Please remember the rules about bigotry when commenting.
