Is he using the word removedrdly to slowly ramp up to the n-word? That only works on people who don't know the words only kinda sound alike but are otherwise unrelated...

Edit: looks like the automatic censoring is an example of one that doesn't know the difference

is the censoring from lemmy.ca? or lemmy in general as a frontend?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lemme try that. Is "niggardly" showing up right for you?

[–] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago

yeah

i remember hearing that lemmy.ml censors certain words the same way

Yes he is, except not slowly. Which is why choosing to use miserly or cheap or tight-fisted or mean, and keep those syllables out of our mouths and ears, is preferable. Choosing to use it, when there are so many alternatives, carries a certain aspect of, "You're not wrong, you're just an asshole."
