    Just checked, “g**k” seems to actually be a derogatory term for people of East/Southeast Asian descent. This one’s a Scunthorpe moment for sure, since the etymology of the word seems to be unrelated to that term.

    The other one is not though, it’s the r-slur.

        Federated users from instances with weaker slur filters will though, and be quite confused

        The post text is not actually edited, so you can view it on an instance like lemm.ee with a weaker slur filter.

          I didn’t know that the slur filter is instance-based. I’m not gonna make a lemmee account but is there a way to check what’s on our own filter?

            I don’t have access to our slur filter; you’d have to ask the admins for that
