    Hey mods, I didn’t direct the r-word at anyone, specifically mentioned that it’s offensive, and suggested the alternative and legally defensible term googly-eyed chud. I think the automod needs to calm down a bit.

      I wasn’t the one who did it, and personally, I think it could have gone either way, but while I don’t think I would have removed that one, I certainly would not argue against its removal. I don’t think the moderator needs to calm down at all. A ban for that comment might’ve been rather much, but a simple removal is perfectly fine.

        No one did it. It was automod looking for the existence of a word and ignoring any potential context.

        “<redacted> is offensive” was removed for having the word <redacted> in it. That’s asinine.

        Edit: Apparently all mod activity notifications come from the automod. It’s still asinine to try policing the existence of a word.

          Well, this is simply incorrect. I ran across this thread and reported several comments, bringing it to the attention of the moderators, who took action.

          And you are free to have yourr opinions, but again, I suggest complying with the Lemmy.world TOS. If you think the TOS is asinine, that’s fine - as long as you comply with them.

            Do you also measure your neighbors’ lawns with a ruler and report them to the HOA? You seem like the type…

              Do you watch police brutality and think, “THIN BLUE LINE! HUAH!!!”? Let’s discuss other stupid things. Or maybe you might stop standing up for bigotry.
