    I have defended the word filter here on numerous occasions, but I think not having a word filter is an equally valid design choice, for the reasons you have cited - as long as the human moderators keep on top of it.

      Yeah, I sure understand that moderators don’t want to waste time putting out fires, and the devs don’t want to risk their work would be associated with fascists. It’s just that it isn’t at all obvious for a random user who just wants to post.
