I remember there being an instance in fediverse that censored profanity, so it's not always self-censorship

LemmyML will block slurs, including some that aren't universally recognized as slurs (especially those based in ableism and misogyny)

I mean, the idea of building a place where people don't use slurs is appealing, but the method looks quite a bit off to me

I personally enjoy not seeing slurs.
