    The instance at exploding-heads.com got defederated from by a lot of instances and among them the largest one lemmy.world
    It happened due to them allowing hatespeech like “tranny faggot”. Top post now is complaining about how the rest is sensitive libs and in the same breath call “Joe Biden is a pedo”. They’re throwing a tantrum about how they’re getting cancelled because they can’t smell the shit under their own shoe.

      It’s not necessary to repeat the hate speech they got defederated over, you can just say “transphobic/homophobic slurs”.

        Honestly quoting their stupidity is good to illustrate exactly how racist and homophobic they are.

        But the words themselves don’t mean anything more than the context they’re used in. I absolutely think you should be able to freely write the bad words that you are talking about to better explain what happened instead of censoring it. It’s obvious that op used it to spread information and not in a negative context, isn’t it?

          Yes, there’s a difference between use and mention, but slurs are still slurs even outside of a negative context or without hateful intent.

          Repeating slurs isn’t always necessary and can sometimes still be emotionally draining for the targetted group to see even outside of the negative context. Just something to keep in mind.
