>Many English-language slurs are also words with entirely different meanings in other languages. Possibly. But looking at lemmy, it seems like most interaction is in English. As such, it seems reasonable to expect people to make a good faith effort to learn what isn't acceptable on a mostly english language website. >It's just that hard-coding a list of English-language bad words, then matching on them in an extremely naive way, is not an excellent way of manifesting those principles in code. I imagine there are better ways to do it, but this goes back to who owns the instance, and what type of community do they want to foster. More to the point, the github issue originally linked was resolved (to the extent it can be) by having user created filters. https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.html https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.... https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1481 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1481
