If so, why? Just to have your own private server for you and friends, or to spin up a public server for a specific topic?

        Removed your use of a sexist slur. Consider this your first warning.

          context matters — it was a meta discussion about the word. I didn’t call anyone “slur word” or whatever. For someone being against fascists you sure act a lot like one, kinda proved my point perfectly.

          For other people you can check context in the modlog:

          Of course you can’t know what it was because apparently saying the word is against the rules lol; here’s a hint though:

              Yup, language has context. @dessalines@lemmy.ml already has a beef with me since pretty much I joined lemmy and said the word commies.

              Just look at github issue tracker - the guy has some serious mental issues and being in charge of project making it worse. Now he’s exercising his “power” to win an argument.

              No sane individual would think that talking about a slur is equivalent to using one - wake up. That’s like saying historian who took out Mein Kamf from the library is a nazi lol

                  That said, you got a warning from a mod because you used a slur

                  I didn’t. I described it but that’s not usage. It’s like saying you used a gun to shoot someone when you show someone a picture of a gun and explain how the trigger works.
