They mean “retard”. It used to be an acceptable word and now many people consider it a slur. Just wanted to give you a real answer since many people are making jokes or avoiding saying it.
I was really expecting that to say removed instead of “retard”. I find it hard to get behind that censorship even if well intentioned. It’s extremely annoying especially when you can’t guess what was removed and it renders a sentence incomprehensible.
I try (usually unsuccessfully) to explain to people there is a huge difference between saying something is retarded vs calling someone a retard. One of those is acceptable and the other isn’t.
Sorry but what is the other R word? (I legit have no idea)

Oh Jesus, how about we don’t censor Reddit because that itself is retarded?

Neither are acceptable, sorry.
Thank you. Til. I’ll avoid this situation in the future.
Redditors?
Close enough
Reddit is what I meant when I typed r*****. I thought maybe @moosetwin was suggesting there was some other R word he was worried about.
russia
I also thought Russia, just based on the number of asterisks. Though I suppose there’s a lot of 6 letter r-words that could fit.
I thought they meant Russia as well. Like wtf, has Lemmy gone full woke already?
rich
Rhodesia.
