Yeah, sure, but that’s exactly the point, the group is trying to dictate my free speech based on what they considered offensive. And not even for something significant like promoting violence or hate speech, just over the placement of an *. So I don’t really care if saying f*ck is ridiculous, nor do I care if saying fuck is considered unnecessary, nor any of the other litany of ways people try to control the free speech of others.
I get that this is a very unpopular opinion on Lemmy, but honestly I don’t give a f*ck.
Real talk, you can’t. Or at least there is no “nurotypicals hate this one simple trick” solution.
Your real best bet is to talk to your supervisor about how you do your best work when you don’t need to socialize. And as such would prefer to either work from home, or be moved to a workspace away from high traffic areas.
