I’ve seen a big uptick in that word usage, I don’t like seeing them and use a replacing extension to intercept and censor them to a more appropriate word, while showing an asterisk so I know it was censored. Now I don’t have to see the word, but I still get to see who is being a bigoted jerk.
Edit: ya so I guess on lemmy people think it’s cool to throw ableist slurs.
I agree with the sentiment but as an autistic person I’d appreciate it if you didn’t use that word
EDIT: downvotes? Come on, lemmy, what gives? If this had been an anti-trans slur you’d have already grabbed your pitchforks!
