Hi,

I’m interesting to see a list of blocked words. I tried to find infos about it, but my search wasn’t successful. I think it would be good to know what kind of words are not allowed, so that I can write in a way so that I don’t have to edit and rephrase my posts after writing them.

Thanks in advance!

      I don’t really read this as “we’ll never make it configurable”. It would be an easy fork anyway.

      How I see it: Slur filters will not change the underlying problem. They just make the current contemporary selection of words invisible. Hate doesn’t come from words. Everyone can easily say the same thing with other words or phrases. You’d have to constantly update the list, leading to the constant invention of new words and phrases. A rat race.

      It would be better to not let simple words be ones guide, but to actually listen/read and understand what is being said in the full context.
