Seriously, Reddit has banned me several times for “breaking rules” but never tells me exactly what I did to deserve the ban, whereas I see that Lemmy will tell you in the modlog what you did.

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.
