The largest piracy community is hosted over at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

lemmy.world has blocked it. It appears to have also blocked !piracy@lemmy.ml.

If this is a problem for you, I'd suggest migrating accounts using LASIM to an instance that doesn't block it (such as lemm.ee).

edit:

An official announcement has been made:

You are viewing a single comment

If a lemmy.ml user types 'bitch' in a comment it will actually get replaced with 'removed'. They just won't notice it until they check their own comments. That might be the reason why you see 'removed' even though your instance doesn't have an active slur filter.

So, when I see "bitch" is because the user isn't from lemmy.ml? Jerboa doesn't display the domains along the usernames unless I visit the profiles.

Yep! It only gets censored in two cases:

  1. You are on an instance that censors words like this (e.g. lemmy.ml)

  2. The user who wrote the comment is on an instance that censors this word (which actually replaces it in the comment), everyone sees it censored then

What about the edge case where someone actually says removed? Like the actual verb, to remove, but italicized and in the past tense. Someone could then infer incorrectly that you're saying a slur word instead of the verb to take away.
