Why does everyone suddenly seem to think it's ok to say the R word again? I feel like I hadn't heard it in years and suddenly everyone around me is using it, and I see it on Reddit all the time. Am I imagining it? Is anyone seeing this? I don't even know what to say when it's suddenly just everyone in a group and everyone acts like it's normal.

I'm not seeing it... but it might be due to Reddit having become the R word for me, never having been into T (๐•), refusing to go on TT or D, and FB still having wide whack-a-mole word filters (main issue being flerfers, and "praise God for the AI stairs" kind). Haven't seen it on the fediverse yet, but that might be due to curation.

Yeah I also think its probably because beehaw in general has a really moderated community space in general so not much negativity breaks through the cracks.

Also beehaw members had to "write an essay (sic)" to join, and that barely larger threshold seems to have people value it more.
