You probably know better than that, Lemmy bans curse words as well as slurs. This limits the shareability of news articles, is more of an encumbrance and inconvenience to the end user than anything else
I've read the Lemmy slur filter many times and I highly doubt sharing news articles with these specific words in the title is a common issue worth complaining about, especially since the slur list was shortened recently. Even then, all it would require is modifying one word of the title. Is that seriously so much to ask for?
I feel like being able to say whatever words you want isn't too much to ask for but here we are! 😂
