Blahaj.zone admin here. Let me make this simple and clear. I don't care what specific word you use, if you are using intellectual disability or neurodivergence as an insult, you're going to get moderated.

Genuinely curious if this applies to moron and idiot, since they have basically the same origin story.

lemmy users will hear “i don’t care what word you use, don’t insult based on disability or neurodivergence” and say “sounds like silence to me, too bad the mods won’t answer my questions of if certain words are allowed”

🙄

Just... don't use anything one can't control as an insult.

Yup. Goes for bodyshaming too.
