Ah cool. I was just defending it since I don't have to deal with the negatives of modding really. So if u are okay with removing it I'm glad cuz it was kinda annoying sometimes

We actually no longer auto filter slurs because it creates too many false positives.

Not to start a lengthy discussion, but wouldn't trolls just do the same thing u/dcreeper just did to get around such filters? I don't have mod experience, so maybe it's just that, but to me it seems kind of pointless.

It's more just practicality for moderation. It takes a lot of work to check for every derogatory term if it's used by someone who is using it in an okay way

And even more importantly spam and bigoted trolls are heavily discouraged by a slur filter.

I find it annoying too but it is way better than constantly having to delete comments and having Nazis spam slurs on the front page.

It is what it is! To be an a-utist is to be uncomfortable all the time.
