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?
I think this might be a decision made by lemmy.ml. Previous versions of Lemmy had a word filter list that was force-enabled, so I assume the “main instance” ran by the developers would have it enabled.
I can see all of the swearies in Bob’s comment here from pawb.social , but not when looking at it on lemmy.ml.
Wow that is an absolute dealbreaker for this instance. Blanket censorship is just a big no no. So long and thanks for all the fish, off to find a new instance to call home!
Well you really don’t want to be on lemmy.ml if you don’t like censorship, because they have removed criticisms against the CCP and that fucking bitch Xi.
I don’t recall any particular criticism of the Community College of Philadelphia at lemmy.ml being memory holed. Can you point me to some example? What do people have against that august institution anyway?
I don’t agree with lemmy.ml’s simpleminded word policing system at all (not least of which because it suffers from a variant of the Cunthorpe Problem), but I really do find terribly amusing the people who are OUTRAGED at their inability to use slurs and choose that as the reason to switch instances. I find it very telling.
