We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

It's not "gone", but the notion of it being "acceptable" is gone:

Using 'retard' as a slur, not only for people with intellectual disabilities but also just for people or things you think were stupid.

That's actually the one group of people I've never seen anyone call that, lol.

Sadly that slur's starting to become in vogue again ⚰

I was gonna say the same. I saw the R word casually dropped in a CRT enthusiast group the other day and called the guy out, and a bunch of people stood with me, but nearly as many brushed it off as no big deal.
