Everything on minetest.net must be family friendly.

Why on Earth? o_O This is the Internet, not your local kindergarten. :P
If you use “family friendly” as an euphemism for “censorship”, I’m against it. Especially the crusade against “strong language” is stupid as fuck. It simply does not make any sense whatsoever.

Please either quote correctly or don’t. Distorting quotes like that just because it doesn’t pass your family filter is still dishonest. The homepage is a liar. The homepage also claims the world is infinite. Another big fat lie.
Whatever, I don’t really care what you “decide” about quotes. But no matter what or who you quote, don’t distort it, it is !@#$%^&* rude.
Whatever …
But I still like the Pyramids mod, by the way. :-)Everything on minetest.net must be family friendly.

Freedom of speech is freedom of ideas, not swear words.

We should be less worried about them and think more about the experienced players who, for example, understand that Minetest is not meant to imitate Minecraft. They will bring structure and organization to the community, rather than the dull chaos associated with a surplus of "newbies" like we currently have. That doesn't justify abusing the ability to use swear words though, which is another characteristic of newbies that we only need a relatively small amount of.
I agree that there are other things that should also be changed on the homepage, including the thing about the world being infinite (it's not). With all due respect to those who run the website, there is plenty of room for improvement.

If I understand correctly, you are against all this because society has made this as a taboo. Yet there is no rational reason why these words are considered to be bad.
IMO this is a taboo for no reason. So all this resulted more from peer pressure than from actual reasons.

Background
Minetest was started by Perttu “celeron55” Ahola in October 2010, and is now developed by a random bunch of community members.
Minetest is designed to be simple, stable and portable. It is lightweight enough to run on fairly old hardware. It currently runs reasonably on a laptop with Intel 945GM graphics. Although, it is recommended to have a dualcore CPU for best performance.
