Noticed not many people use curse words.

So… why the fuck not?

    Lemmy has a hard-coded swear word filter that replaces a number of words with removed. Not seeing words makes you less likely to use them yourself.

      That depends on the instance, on lemmy.zip I don’t have any filters to my knowledge.

        We do as far as I know. But more for actual slurs (like homophobic ones).

        Generally I’m against filters, if someone writes a bad word I want to see it and then decide for myself if I report and/or block them.
