    I completely agree with the commenter above. Self censoring swear words is absolutely ridiculous. Either swear or don’t - that’s your choice.

    @Owlchemist Comments that insult other community members (directly or indirectly) without adding anything interesting to the conversation are not welcome here.

      I completely disagree with you both.

      If you feel it’s “insulting” to find judgmental comments that add zero to the discuss except being negative to another community member pedantic, I don’t know what to tell you.

      In all honestly, ya’ll’s comments are the same kind of negative as mine. Who cares how someone else chooses to write? How is bemoaning someone’s choice of spelling or self-censor “adding anything interesting to the conversation.” It certainly makes that commenter feel like shit. So who’s rule breaking here?

          I feel I did no different than the person who I originally replied to. The popped off about how someone writes because they didn’t like it. I said that pedantic and that pointing it out accomplished nothing productive.

          If it sounds like I’m being a dick, it’s because I didn’t like the person who wrote f*ck being singled out because something in their life caused them to think it’s best.

          I’m trying to defend someone who just wanted to add to discussion and got dragged. So that’s why I’m defensive.

      Are you saying, as a mod, commenters should not be ridiculous and replace vowels with asterisks if they like doing that?

      I prefer not to self censor so I don’t have a stake in this. Just curious so I know what to report.

        No, it’s not a community rule, just a pet peeve. I honestly hate it but I think making it a rule would be too authoritarian. I don’t want to be that mod.

        My reminder of the lemmy rule against insulting others was directed at Owlchemist. I’ll edit my comment to make that more clear.
