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.

The Lemmy software has a built-in word filter that I believe can be disabled by an instance's admins. Said word filter doesn't really account for languages other than English and I know that the developers did receive some criticism for that.
