You’re allowed to say Retarded here on not-Reddit.

I think.

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy seems to hate that word more than reddit funnily enough. It was my first instance of learning that Tankies have a FUCKED sense of priorities

A lot of us are really hoping Lemmy doesn't turn into tankie-voat to the extent a lot of lemmy instances are staying away from tankie instances. Being uncool with some shit (like making fun of mentally handicapped people) is part of that.

1: The vast majority of people using the word Retard are NOT maming fun of mentally handicapped people, its a word used for someone who made a very stupid decision they were perfectly mentally capable of not making, both people who are and who arent mentally handicapped are capable of being retarded.

2: Its the tankie servers that gave me a 3 day ban for using the word, the fucked sense of priorities I was talking about was their supposed heavy support of social justice issues while simultaneously supporting/believing Russia/China have done nothing wrong

The vast majority of people using the word Retard

I have had too many mentally challenged folk in my life, and they are offended by it. It's something to keep in mind.

the fucked sense of priorities... believing Russia/China have done nothing wrong

Oh yeah, they're idiots. Thank god they're not smart enough to make their dystopian wet-dream happen.

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Thats fair, and tbh I'd never use the term around someone with a mental disability unless they told me to (which HAS happened) in person, but on the internet where a thicker skin is required in general, or around friends I dont really see a better blunt term for stupidity, idiot has the same problem as Retard and any term that works now will eventually be tainted by the few who DO use mental health terms derogatively

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Depends on the instance! Our dot ml friends can't say or even see it from others.

I've tried saying removed but it got censored.

This is a test to see if it's instance or community based.

This has nothing to do with bath bombs.
