How come I'm seeing "removed" all over the place?
How come I'm seeing "removed" all over the place?
I gather some server is for some arcane reason censoring naughty words to protect our delicate sensibilities. Is it on my end, on lemmy.ml? Is it the server people are posting from? Is it something happening in the federation? Is it the Romulans?
First, always start by reading the public modlog. Mod logs are public.
Next: how about an example? I'm not seeing what you describe, so I'd really appreciate a reference (link) to whatever it is you are describing.
In a few threads now where someone typed an expletive, the post gets censored and it just says removed where the word should've been.
I'm trying to link to a comment, but when I check the link, it keeps pointing to my response to them. Seems like some other lemmy quirk, but maybe it'll work for you
In another post, someone tried to say "resting removed face" but it came out "resting removed face"
edit: well that's awkward, when I tried to write b i t c h, it did it to my comment here. So it is a lemmy.ml thing?
Lemmy has a slur filter regex. In case you're curious, you can see an instance's regex using this url (replacing the domain as needed):
CTRL+F "slur_filter"
WhipperSnapper, you are fined one credit for a violation of the verbal morality code!
It's 100% because you're registered on lemmy.ml
I'm not seeing that happening on any posts.
This is not something mods can do. They can only remove posts entirely, not censor or edit them.
Server you're on will censor words from a list maintained by your admin
It's a conspiracy to cover up the truth about the Scunthorpe assassination attempt where Herbert Cockburn was given a poisoned shitake by mr Callahan from Sussex.

Lemmy.ml does censor certain words. Like female dogs, or bitches. B. I. T. C. H.
Censorship is pretty on par with a tankie instance lol
You don't have to be a tankie to censor things. We can't have people spreading nazi propaganda or saying racial slurs. You wanna become another platform like Voat?
It's a bit unintuitive what happens if I say "bitch" from another instance 🤔
I hope they start cracking down on the slurs narcissist and cult. It's tricky because those two are legitimate words inside the community, but people have lately taken to using them as pejoratives.

I blame Romulans. They just can't stay on their side of the Neutral Zone.
