The latest changes implemented in the Systemd repo, related to or prompted by age-verification laws, have made many people unhappy (I suppose links about this aren’t necessary). This has led to a surge in Systemd forks during the last days (“surge” because there have always been plenty of forks). Here are some forks that explicitly mention those changes as their reason for forking (rough time ordering taken from the fork page):

Hopefully the energy of this reaction won’t be scattered among too many alternatives, although some amount of scattering is always good.

    You mentioned translator, so I’m going to assume English is not your native language.

    Retarded actually means slow or slowed down, not specifically applying to people. For example, in a cumbustion engine you might have to retard the timing to get the spark and piston to sync correctly for firing.

    Historically, it has also been applied to people with mental or learning disabilities which then became a common insult used to imply someone was stupid. Once it became an insult, it was considered rude in it’s original context even though in many ways it is an apt description. As such, many auto mods will filter out the word regardless of context.
