I don't think I would want to hang out in any online space where the n-word is a shibboleth. The practice of asking members to do something that would ostracize you from the rest of society is cult behavior—even if it's not intended as such.


Censoring the n-word is an even worse shibboleth.

I agree, and it’s also a stupid measure that doesn’t stop anything.
