Discussion about the aussie.zone instance itself
founded 1 year ago
MODERATORS
On the off change you're not joking... I believe it is unAustralian to be deliberately offensive and rude... which I consider out of context swearing (such as this) to be.
While Australia as a culture has a much higher threshold for swearing than most, and certainly the prudish Americans, I suppose federation means people will see the titles of Aussie.zone threads in their feeds so your decision makes sense.
At the same time I’d hate to see us get all uptight about swearing in routine discussions.
In summary: Swearing in titles: fuck no. Swearing in comments: fuck yes! :)

Pretty much this..
I will wager that there are a bunch of Aussie Lemmy and kbin instances.
checks for ones with open signups
There's probably room in Australia for both an instance with and an instance without "cunt" in titles. In fact, with the existing instances and this one, one has a sufficient number of instances to cover all permutations of policy on each of at least three profane words being permitted in titles.
I'd encourage everyone to register on multiple instances and find one that feels right for them. If you don't feel at home in a place that doesn't allow the liberal uttering of "cunt" without warning, you'll be better served elsewhere.
That's a bloody outrage, that is. I'm gonna take this all the way to the Prime Minister!
You can swear on the internet.
👍
How do posts marked NSFW work? Would it not make sense to require those with swear words or adult content to be marked NSFW. Those that don't wish to see would have it filtered, but it doesn't restrict the freedom of speech of others. Sometimes expletives are appropriate.

I think situations where that is the case, civil and respectful discussions do not occur
They're not mutually exclusive, but I would guess there is a trend towards incivility with increased expletives.
However, there is also a use case for venting, for comedy and for absolute dog cunts, being appropriately named.
is cunce allowable?
This does remind me of the old Kevin Wilson song.
