So what is the lowering reputation part. Are the mods grading your posts and then reducing their visibility?
No, it’s just being downvoted negatively contributes to your reputation. Basically heavily downvoted accounts.
But I noticed some remove the word cunt too, which is a dealbreaker for me.
I don’t know what you mean here. Who is “some” here?

Some of piefed instances put removed in italics where the word cunt was. Obviously that would only be a deal breaker for the ones that do it.

I only remember Lemmy forcing its hard coded “slur filter” on all the instances.

That was a temporary measure very early in development, when moderation tooling was still very incomplete. This was to avoid ending up like Voat. Once mod tools were implemented, the slur filter became optional. Simple as that.
