Is anyone else seeing swear words censored in comments?
I'll be scrolling through lemmy world and occasionally I'll see comments where a word in them has been replaced with removed. Usually from context it's early a swear word, normal stuff not slurs.
Is this a lemmy.world censorship thing? A lemmy wide thing? I doubt it has anything to do with my app, unless Jerboa is censoring specific words.
Anyone else experiencing this?
You are viewing a single comment
It's either the instance sending the comment, or your instance. Let's check: fuck shit crap bitch
Edit: looks like lemmy.ml censored bitch.
If you don't want this, just get an account on another instance. There are some tools to help copy over your list of subscriptions.
Seems lemmy.ml censors slurs specifically then, since “bitch” is considered a gendered slur.
A right cunty thing for them to do, mate
Interestingly, I can see this. Maybe they require a whole world match to avoid the Scunthorpe problem. (Test: cunt cunty )
As a FMHY user I do not have such weakness
Here in kbin.social I can see it without problem.
Maybe op has activated the filter in settings?
I don't think there is a swear filter in settings, it looks to be a per instance option (looking a the source code it is).
