Is anyone else seeing swear words censored in comments?

yimby@lemmy.ml to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 29 points –

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?

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 )
