IGNORE: This is happening at lemmy.world, not here. See my screenshots showing the censorship which happens at lemmy.world end.
This is all very exciting to figure out.
Original post…
I’m going to post a bug report to Lemmy but it seems my comment body that contains about 6 instances of the f-word gets blocked from posting at all.
Post body I intended is below. Posts with the f-word in get blocked entirely.
Comments get the word censored. The filtering is fucking idiotic and over-zealous.
TLDR: WHY IS A UK SERVER BLOCKING MENTION OF A UK FOODSTUFF?
I see your example from my lemmy server (and client, eternity)
Do you see the posts which have fag, faggot in them and if yes are the words unaltered as they display?
Yep, everything appears unaltered - at least I assume so! Here’s a partial screenshot:
Is it a specifically lemmy.World thing do ya think?
On further checking kbin posts don’t even seem to federate there so I can’t check.
That seems like a reasonable assumption, at least if I’m understanding everything correctly.
It is yeah. I’m the OG poster with a new account on Feddit.UK. Look at my original post and the censored words:
I wonde rif people are downvoting me cos I just look like I’m ranting about nothing. 🤣
I don’t know if perhaps there are downvotes that don’t federate to us, but on kbin votes are public and no one seems to have downvoted you.
