    Once upon a time one of my Lemmy posts used the word “smartwatch”. Couldn’t post it. Repeatedly gave me the error “slur filter - twat”. Political correctness is fascism disguised as manners. - George Carlin

      Omg, you really think the Scunthorpe Problem is “political correctness”? What is it like to be you, I wonder?
