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 must log in or # to comment.
Easiest way to find out: shit fuck bitch asshole
Can you read those or are they censored?
Who told you my password?
No one. I’m the famous hacker 4chan.
Wdym? All I see is hunter2
I can from discuss.tchncs.de, lemmy.world, but from lemmy.ml bitch is censored.
I can see them all. On lemmy.world and Thunder on iOS.
The one after fuck is removed.
They don’t want you to talk about female dogs.
Huh 🤔
A female dog is called a bitch. That’s where the profanity comes from, you say that someone is like a female dog and lemmy.ml get real upset.
Meh 😑
What an odd choice for which word to censor.
It’s the one in the list that’s derogatory towards a specific group (women, in this case)
Wtf? I’m using Jerboa on Android and can’t see anything removed.
You’re not registered with lemmy.ml on your account. It’s not the client.
I understand now so thanks for telling me!
I see 4, none appear as removed.
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits.
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).
shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits
And tits shouldn’t even be on the list.
Mmmm tater-tits
No f***ing way
D***it they got me too
D*nmark
One thing I found out is if you type your lemmy password it censors that too, see: ********************* isn’t that a great feature you should try it
Hunter2
Doesn’t look like stars to me.
Wow great feature!
it only works if its your credit card number and password
Nah it doesn’t blank out your credit card number unless it’s followed by cvv number and expiration date - I think it even encrypts it if you enter a 5 digit billing zip code
Fr*nce
Instance admins can setup a slur filter for their instance, which automatically removes that word from ever appearing on that particular instance.
Fuck dammit
Fuck no
