“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?
Where’s the section that my comment breaks? Is there a reason why you’re not just linking directly instead of being so vague…?
My comment was also removed for the wrong reasons, they just needed a reason because of the “trigger” word, and yet another one of my comments that state the exact same thing is still up, so whys one okay and not the other…? Sounds more like someone took personal offense to a word used in actually semantically correct way, since they think the word isn’t okay in every single case.
Which isn’t the case with the word in this case. The word retard isn’t some catch all word like the N word is, and people that think that are in the wrong. You seem to be trying to say they are comparable here, that’s fucking wild dude.
Regardless of whether or not you personally think it’s an acceptable term to use, best to drop it from your lexicon if you intend to continue interacting with polite society. That term is rapidly becoming wildly innappropriate in all contexts

They aren’t defending the suggestion. They are taking issue with you using a medical condition to insult someone’s intelligence.
Ableism isn’t OK.
How is it ableist to call a mentally challenged solution retarded…?
I never insulted anyone’s intelligence.
It’s retarded to stare at the sun during an eclipse, stating that isn’t ableist. That’s all I did.

Do you know what ableism vs an insult vs a slur is…?
Because some are allowed and some aren’t here. I didn’t use ableism, and the other stuff has no rules here.
So if I’m being accused and having my stuff moderated incorrectly, that’s a problem.
I’m willing to bet that’s the worst thing that will happen to you this year, and you’ll still whine about it.
If you’re an expert on these things, then your litany of abuses must have been made knowingly:

Instead of lecturing others, I suggest educating yourself, before you catch a ban.
There are in fact rules about them.
You say from an alt account with almost exclusively controversial stuff… okay….
Where? Ableism isn’t even on there either, so mods already overstepped.
• Anything else that is clearly bad
It’s right there, the bottom line of the top list.
I’m pretty sure the 196 mods would consider ableism and ableist slurs to be “clearly bad.”
The community’s rules are not all of Lemmy’s rules.

If you’re looking for a Nazi bar, I suggest you look elsewhere.
