fne8w2ahReddit faces content quality concerns after its Great Mod Purge
gabe [he/him]Wow! Who knew when you kick your volunteer mods who curate content for you for free to the curb that overall quality would decrease?
Wow! Who knew things could go wrong when a bunch of faggy cunt neckbeards mass ban 10-15 year accounts for saying bad words, while allowing karma farming bots and chinese shills to thrive?!
I hate what Reddit is doing, but I also hate your casual homophobia. Aren't you sure, you would be a better fit for Reddit than the fediverse?
I’m bisexual and actually edited that into the comment (in the place of the word fat) to see if it would get removed here. I guess I’m an outlier from a different era of the internet. I’ll just be bitterly shaking my fist at the kids on my lawn in silence.
loobkoobI know multiple queer people who use "faggot" in a way that lets them take ownership of the word rather than allow it to be a slur. But importantly, there's context to them saying it that makes it clear it's not a slur. It'll be among friends who know them well enough, or on dating profiles/kink websites where it's abundantly clear from how they use it and everything else they've written that it's them reclaiming the word.
Your comment doesn't have that context. You're an anonymous stranger in a thread filled with anonymous strangers, and there's nothing about your comment that implies you're not using the word as a slur. In fact, the way you used it was as a pejorative. It comes off as offensive and inappropriate.
