True, I actually got dinged from automods using this word "kill" in various context for example one I remember well: "The Iranian government is killing people and wondering why they fight back?!" And DING I get whacked by the automod for using a bad word. I mean I don‘t mind moderation, but that was so weird I had to self censor myself like "The Iranian government is acting in ways that end people‘s lives and wondering why they fight back?!" to get my comment posted. What a pain. I get not advocating for violence, but the robots didn‘t check for any of that lol.

Got perma banned for calling him Andrew Taint and his subscribers paypigs without the sexual gratification lol. Last time I got banned for referring to myself as retarded when I lost my ass on options

Yes, I mean there will be limits and our admins named some but overall it seems way more free.

Likely because it's federated instances and each specialises in something.
