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
I mean I can understand that some communities might be legit triggered by certain words, but just implement the filter between that instance and the users of that instance.
Imposing it on all instances would be insane. If you don’t like the words that other instance are showing then don’t use that instance. That’s the strength of the fediverse concept to me, policies tailored to the community that’s on an instance.
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
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 “removed”… 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.

Cool… my instance isn’t run by an idiot.
dot ml is the only mainstream on to implement it afaik.
There was a time (before the api exodus) where the devs were planning on making the filter compulsory for all instances, you can guess how that went.
That seems ridiculous.

Never heard of this but in any case, I’ll test it. removed.
You’re on Lemmy.world so you’ll see it.
But Lemmy.ml users see this
I wonder if the filter applies to usernames.
That’s an interesting question actually. I wonder.
Boggles the mind

Haha get removed lemmy.ml removedes go removed on a bag of removed you removed half-removed removed
Wow. As if the .ml instance wasn’t already a joke!
You said, “removed,” though?
Man, I looked this woman in her optic stems, and I said…
Biiiiiiiiiitttttccchhhhhh
I looked this woman into the windows of her soul, and I says…
Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttcccchhhh…
How have I not seen that sketch in a good 10 years but can still hear them say it in my heads?
It’s a classic. Sort of like… my potion is too strong for you traveler.
I get and appreciate this reference 😂
What a dickheaded removed 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.
