Once upon a time one of my Lemmy posts used the word "smartwatch". Couldn't post it. Repeatedly gave me the error "slur filter - twat". Political correctness is fascism disguised as manners. - George Carlin
Did you complain? The devs here do listen to criticism, so it's good to tell them about these problems, and pile on more evidence that having a list of taboo words creates more problems than it solves.
