    I love how much effort you put into pedantry. It’s like you use the most words possible to make the least amount of point lmao

      I completely agree with the commenter above. Self censoring swear words is absolutely ridiculous. Either swear or don’t - that’s your choice. Comments that insult other community members (directly or indirectly) without adding anything interesting to the conversation are not welcome here.

        I think it’s insulting to rag on someone else’s choice of spelling or self-censorship. It adds nothing to the conversation of the thread, while doing nothing but being negative to someone about something that doesn’t matter one little bit.

        If you feel “insulted” that find that kind of useless contrarianism pedantic, I don’t know what to tell you. My comment wasn’t any less negative than ya’ll’s judgement.

        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.

        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.
