I keep seeing removed in a lot of comments and posts and my question is why is that?

    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.

    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.

        Which, unfortunately, is what mostly is controlled when censorship is applied.

          Better ten innocent people be punished, than one guilty person to free.
