Did they edit their post and lemmy glitch out? The comment is 4m old, but your reply is 6m. There’s no marking that it’s been edited either, so something’s wrong.
I just stumbled across this, but I made a comment last night and when I went to check the backlash this afternoon it was gone. I was pretty disappointed.
I know multiple queer people who use “removed” in a way that lets them take ownership of the word rather than allow it to be a slur. But importantly, there’s context to them saying it that makes it clear it’s not a slur. It’ll be among friends who know them well enough, or on dating profiles/kink websites where it’s abundantly clear from how they use it and everything else they’ve written that it’s them reclaiming the word.
Your comment doesn’t have that context. You’re an anonymous stranger in a thread filled with anonymous strangers, and there’s nothing about your comment that implies you’re not using the word as a slur. In fact, the way you used it was as a pejorative. It comes off as offensive and inappropriate.
Removed by mod
Uh. Let’s not use the f slur shall we?
I hate what Reddit is doing, but I also hate your casual homophobia. Aren’t you sure, you would be a better fit for Reddit than the fediverse?

I am posting from kbin, it shows me that their post is 25 minutes to my 10 minutes ago.
Weird. I’m using Jerbao from lemmy.world.
