Some of them coughlemmy.mlcough has a swear filter
edit: world->ml
I'm on lemmy.world and there is no fucking swear filter.
My mistake, I meant .ml, accidentally conflated the two.
I do come across a lot of removed while browsing on my .world account when the blahaj is being iffy, not sure what that is from.
I think for posters on .ml, the words are actually removed and not just hidden from them. So that's why you see it from other instances on their posts too.
The communists are policing speech? Who would have guessed
A filter? Let me test it right now...
Fuck.
Unless this is a shadowban type filter, it seems to not be there...
Fun fact: you won't get told when your stuff is removed or if you get banned. You have to check the modlogs.
This is Lemmy wide.
And looks like it's still up as of 2 hours after you posted
Edit: Spelling
Edit 2: Spleling
Interesting, I didn't even know there is a modlog.
Did it work? How about bitch? That one came up often when searching to see where I fucked up with my info.
Theirs didn't, yours did
I think it's not a swear filter, but more like a 'potentially discriminatory terms' filter.
I see. I don't mind filters that remove racist or homo/transintolerant slurs, that's keeping a community safer and inclusive rather than enforcement of politeness.
What's a female dog called?
A good girl.
Tbh that one drives me nuts, on some sites I can't even say "Yeah I was bitching about Bad Idea's availability to my shop's owner and he said he didn't want to carry their products because the guys running it are cunts." (Curious to see what happens to this comment lmao)
Like dude, I'm the one I said was bitching about the thing, don't fucking censor my colloquialisms, I wasn't even trying to insult me!
Let's test that one...
removed.
Edit::What do you know, it was actually filtered.
Wow I didnโt know that. Good thing I switched to a different instance (although it was mostly due to poor performance on lemmy.ml at the time).
