please do not censor the word reddit: the way you did that, I thought it was the other R word
Sorry but what is the other R word? (I legit have no idea)
They mean "retard". It used to be an acceptable word and now many people consider it a slur. Just wanted to give you a real answer since many people are making jokes or avoiding saying it.
Oh Jesus, how about we don't censor Reddit because that itself is retarded?
I was really expecting that to say removed instead of "retard". I find it hard to get behind that censorship even if well intentioned. It's extremely annoying especially when you can't guess what was removed and it renders a sentence incomprehensible.
I try (usually unsuccessfully) to explain to people there is a huge difference between saying something is retarded vs calling someone a retard. One of those is acceptable and the other isn't.
Neither are acceptable, sorry.
Thank you. Til. I'll avoid this situation in the future.
Redditors?
Close enough
Reddit is what I meant when I typed r*****. I thought maybe @moosetwin was suggesting there was some other R word he was worried about.
rich
russia
I also thought Russia, just based on the number of asterisks. Though I suppose there's a lot of 6 letter r-words that could fit.
I thought they meant Russia as well. Like wtf, has Lemmy gone full woke already?
Rhodesia.
