    The whole point is that it’s federated too. The devs haven’t really been ardent about much to do with the software except “we’re not getting rid of the hard coded slur filter cause we really don’t want to see the open fascists who would care about that using it”. I don’t fully agree or disagree with that, but they don’t really have much else to say about the community at large. Des has repeatedly stated that he wants to have a healthy amount of “mainstream”/“liberal” instances that he has nothing to do with the content of.

        It’s been modifiable by instance admins for a while now, although I doubt most of them have any reason to do so. It mostly is just an n-word filter.
