News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Slur? The article seems to say it's just the word "fuck"

Are people still shocked by stupid shit like profanity? I was expecting racial slurs or something actually bad...

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The word in question is not "fuck". It's "faggоt".

[And before someone complains: the above is an instance of metalinguistic usage of a word. It's morally OK as you're using the word to refer to itself, instead of using the word to convey any discourse that would target a marginalised group.]

Oooohhhhhhhhh. I completely forgot about that "f-word" and appreciate you not beating around the bush like the article did.

It's a US based company. "US" is short for Ultrareligious States.

Ahh yes where in some states, rapeing little girls and marrying them off, so the child whose abortion is considered criminal, can grow up with a mom and dad, is endorsed by the "devout Christians"
