Is he using the word removedrdly to slowly ramp up to the n-word? That only works on people who don’t know the words only kinda sound alike but are otherwise unrelated…
Yes he is, except not slowly. Which is why choosing to use miserly or cheap or tight-fisted or mean, and keep those syllables out of our mouths and ears, is preferable. Choosing to use it, when there are so many alternatives, carries a certain aspect of, “You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.”

Edit: looks like the automatic censoring is an example of one that doesn’t know the difference
is the censoring from lemmy.ca? or lemmy in general as a frontend?
Lemme try that. Is “niggardly” showing up right for you?
yeah
i remember hearing that lemmy.ml censors certain words the same way
