Comment on Why is Lemmy much better with telling a user why they were banned?

I was banned for using a slur. I was quoting a line from a movie (in quotation marks) in a post about that movie. It was so obviously a quote.

Was helping a commenter with his gun problem and wondered if there was something he could try “to retard the action”. Mods were great in that sub, but still almost caught ban. “We don’t use that word here.”

That’s pretty sad. It’s a word with various meanings, you can’t just ban the word outright. In the medical community we might say that a chemical can “retard growth of cells.” Properly used it’s a viable scientific term.
