I've seen a big uptick in that word usage, I don't like seeing them and use a replacing extension to intercept and censor them to a more appropriate word, while showing an asterisk so I know it was censored. Now I don't have to see the word, but I still get to see who is being a bigoted jerk.

Edit: ya so I guess on lemmy people think it's cool to throw ableist slurs.
