Yeah I agree I could have avoided the disparagement, but I felt like being succinct vs. writing an entire diatribe cataloging the myriad curses brought upon the fediverse by h*xbear.
"Douche canoe" is an insult, but it's not a slur. Slurs are more than simply offensive language. Slurs are more deeply harmful. Think the n-word or f-slur, for instance.
Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
I'm not taking sides here, and I'm not trying to be holier-than-thou since I've been banned for saying some pointed things about hexbear users, but this is why.
