Are they? So if I read a post where users from hundreds of different servers are commenting, my phone has to make hundreds of requests to all those servers? Doesn’t seem right
It’s because they have a very broad definition of a slur with no regard for context. I don’t understand how people put up with it either since it makes other comment unclear. I would have assumed a way worse word was being censored above for example
I had a comment removed for using a racial slur because I called them tankies lol. Poor little snowflakes. Fwiw I’m literally a socialist, I just don’t support authoritarianism and genocide and blatant human rights abuses.
Weird I’m just now seeing that. Also very very sad. I would never use a platform that censors words automatically, especially not the word “bitch”… wtf
I typed b I t c h and something changed it
Lemmy.ml has a whole bunch of swear filters.
This is a . world community though…unless .ml is somehow able to filter their user’s posts??
I think its the .ml doing the changing as all the traffic of .ml users go through its servers
Correct, the user is on .ml (if others hadn’t noticed) so his comments are hosted on that server.

Your phone queries your home instance, your instance fetches comments from the other servers.
Tanking is ok, but swearing goes too far.
Oppression has to start somewhere.
Yes that’s exactly what ml is doing. They have a slur filter.
Never heard of this but in any case, I’ll test it. Bitch.
You’re on Lemmy.world so you’ll see it.
But Lemmy.ml users see this
Boggles the mind

Literally no actual socialist does.
Red fascists tho
Apparently .ml people are red/ brown colorblind. Didn’t even know that was a type of colorblindness.
Haha get removed lemmy.ml removedes go removed on a bag of removed you removed half-removed removed
I wonder if the filter applies to usernames.
That’s an interesting question actually. I wonder.
Wow. As if the .ml instance wasn’t already a joke!
You said, “bitch,” though?
What a dickheaded bitch move
That’s not possible. Weird way to troll.
Edit: apparently possible. Not sure why users put up with being treated like kindergartners
Edit 2: people downvote some weird shit to downvote
IIRC Lemmy.ml had built in censorship.

Well it’s only for users from lemmy.ml, so as you’re one lemmy.world you don’t see it as often.
Right but I read comments from those users pretty regularly
Their users are either fine with it, and don’t use those words, or get annoyed and sign up somewhere else. So you probably won’t see it much.
I think it’s a safe space thing for them.
