      I switched over from your instance because of the censorship. It’s infantilizing to cross out or add asterisks to such words.

      Nah that’s your instance. It shows up fine when I view it on mine, but when I go on your it does indeed say removed.

          You mean gay? Or homosexual?

          And why would they censor that and not “fag”, when the former are also used as neutral descriptions while the latter is almost exclusively used in a derogatory way?

          And also, do I even have to point out how ridiculous it is to promote freedom of information while simultaneously selectively censoring certain words? That’s literally Russia levels of hypocrisy right there.
