      The instance at exploding-heads.com got defederated from by a lot of instances and among them the largest one lemmy.world
      It happened due to them allowing hatespeech like “tranny faggot”. Top post now is complaining about how the rest is sensitive libs and in the same breath call “Joe Biden is a pedo”. They’re throwing a tantrum about how they’re getting cancelled because they can’t smell the shit under their own shoe.

        It’s not necessary to repeat the hate speech they got defederated over, you can just say “transphobic/homophobic slurs”.

          But the words themselves don’t mean anything more than the context they’re used in. I absolutely think you should be able to freely write the bad words that you are talking about to better explain what happened instead of censoring it. It’s obvious that op used it to spread information and not in a negative context, isn’t it?

            Yes, there’s a difference between use and mention, but slurs are still slurs even outside of a negative context or without hateful intent.

            Repeating slurs isn’t always necessary and can sometimes still be emotionally draining for the targetted group to see even outside of the negative context. Just something to keep in mind.

      Sorry for hijacking your comment, it’s the first one that popped up for me when I opened this thread.

      If you’re just discovering this post, trust me, it’s not worth reading. The comments are 50% nazis and 50% morons. There is no discourse ahead, only name calling, denouncing, whataboutism, and some really fucked up thoughts and people. You don’t need this in your day. You already know that nazis are bad, and nazis aren’t the only bad people. Go to illegallysmolcats instead
