That's tied to the instance. The French word for slow is the same as a word commonly used as an insult in English, so the .ml devs have it baked in to their slur filter.

TIL βlentβ is a slur

Wow, what a bunch of... slows
Lemme.ml: Where you can call for murder and warfare against meat eaters and landlords, but don't even think about saying a no-no word, mister!
When have you seen calls for murder?
I don't think a lot of people are using the "guillotine landlords" imagery ironically.
are executions murder, though?
I personally believe so, at least. I guess whether the murder can be justified or not is a separate question.
You say that like it's a bad thing
Socialists not being assholes to fellow marginalized people makes sense, actually.
Yeah it's server-side with .ml. You can switch to a French instance, or I imagine many English-speaking instances don't block that word. I guess you can try view that comment from different instances to check.
Well thatβs fuckin slow
