This person is just being a troll. This instance doesn't censor cursing. Here's a giant list of comments on lemmy.ml with cursing present that aren't censored.
This instance does remove slurs and ableism and things like that, though. So, yeah, this person is just angry they can't as easily spew bigotry as they'd like to. Nothing of value is lost.
Strange that it wouldn't then kick the user for trying to use slurs.
The edits are automated from what I understand. There's a regex that does it when the post is created server side, but I imagine automatically removing a user entirely would result in problems. The admins probably want user removals to be more intentional and a result of a human reviewing the activity.
