    What’s wrong with removed?

      People will use “removed” as a placeholder for whatever slur would have their post removed on a given platform.

        I think it’s that “removed” is what some Lemmy clients will show unless you change your settings to not filter swear words. I don’t think anyone is actually typing removed in their comments
