Hi, I posted something in the Quebec community on Lemmy.ca recently and one of the replies had someone write in French with the word r.e.t.a.r.d. being deleted from their comment.

That word means "late" in French and is not a derogatory word.

This is indeed a feature of Lemmy, activated by default

This issue was completed a long time ago, the slur filter is entirely optional, you can add one using the config: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.html

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/622

Lemmy.ca's admin probably never changed the default values. I noticed it a while ago too but forgot to notify it, thanks.

Edit: also don't bother too much with the other commenter, they have MAGA in their bio
