I keep seeing removed in a lot of comments and posts and my question is why is that?
removed
(really hoping it also filters fuck, doubt and regret has already set in)
This happened on lemmy.world last I saw was in /c/politics. Also fuck came through just fine.
removed
I read through the lemmy.ml rules and didn’t see where they filter anything. Can you link me where they call out doing that?
removed
Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for!
Just because they don’t announce they do doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
I am trying to find more information on it, I didn’t say it wasn’t happening. Thanks!

I worry that implementing a filter means they agree to curate everything and be liable when it fails.
lemmy.ml has a slur filter active and built in that is on the aggressive side. Each server may have different filter words. If you post to somewhere that doesn’t have that word in the slur filter but yours does, others will see the word and you will see “removed”.
This is useful for servers that value a safe space for users against hate, bigotry vs. other servers that are a little more laissez-faire with censoring where appropriate.
One of the reason i don’t have an account there like sometimes you just have to say “fucking hell what the fuck” instead of " removed removed what the removed " you know not every curse ever typed is insulting someone . I do understand that you need to cendor words which are racist or sexist but the rest should’nt be censored.
In the future you can just insult people by calling them removed.

removed you
It’s what you see when a user (or admin?) deletes their post/comment.
No It’s in the middle of a sentence or removed like mine.
Because we live in a censorship culture. It is very common these days to attempt to solve problems by deleting content.
Probably bigotry and racism being removed by the slur filter.
Mostly it’s just innocent bystander vocabulary
Which, unfortunately, is what mostly is controlled when censorship is applied.
