in what ways do you think kbin should strive to be different from Reddit?

An automod which deletes comments with words that are not allowed with zero human review.

I ran into issues using words like "kill" for example, which I understand isn‘t good in the context of calling for violence and should then be modded, but I only used it in a way that should be accepted. Like reacting to a headline which is about people being killed by a government, I should be able to use the word kill in a sentence that criticises that.

Probably why this stupid word unalive now exists is how common it seems to be to censor the word kill entirely, like.. sure, you don‘t want people to incite violence or talk about hurting themselves, that’s reasonable—but it ain‘t going to happen by making a word a taboo!

People just make up new words to say the same thing or use framings like "an action which ends a life" etc so hopefully if this stays small we can have actual human decisions which include context when it comes to censoring.

I understand not liking overzealous filters but I would like a feature to allow blacklisting words in magazines, otherwise you're going to get people shouting slurs at others and getting away with it until a moderator comes to clean it up.
