I gather some server is for some arcane reason censoring naughty words to protect our delicate sensibilities. Is it on my end, on lemmy.ml? Is it the server people are posting from? Is it something happening in the federation? Is it the Romulans?

A lot of people use slurs like “narcissist” without thinking, and won’t go to the effort of bypassing a filter. In that case the advantage is it gets people to think about their actions. I am perfectly happy with a system where moderates don’t use slurs and reactionaries can, because it allows us to educate the moderates while banning the reactionaries.
