    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.
