“retarded” is a medical term for intellectual disabilities. That’s why it’s not allowed, saying a method is “stupid” would have been fine. I’ve asked the main mod to explicitly mention it in the rules to avoid confusion in the future.
I never used it in that way, so my comments were still removed for false reasons.
Retard also has more than one definition, it’s not a catch all term. So comments shouldn’t be removed for just having the word.
You know this, I still have two comments that use the term in a no direct insulting way.
It’s also an incredibly silly situation to allow directly insulting users with like “stupid” anyways, but you do, this will be a cesspool like other places in no time. And as the other user unhelpfully pointed out, that would put you in violation of lemmy.worlds rules itself…. So which is it? Your rules, or theirs? Or is this like most other communities and the rules are made up every report?
