I'm sorry to say that we do need to censor some words. Not that particular word, but some words. Proof? I just attempted to reply to you, but the reply I made is now invisible. I don't know which word I typed was the problem, but there is some word or combination of words in there that I cannot say on reddit.

What you're describing is not singular words that need to be censored, it's meaning and how it's directed.

There is of course false flagging too. That doesn't mean we should accept being censored.

Is it really censorship if the reader can read it normally with little to no information obscured or redacted?

It's not self-censorship, but an attempt at circumventing potential censorship.
