What’s a “removed boy?”

I typed b I t c h and something changed it

Lemmy.ml has a whole bunch of swear filters.

This is a . world community though…unless .ml is somehow able to filter their user’s posts??

I think its the .ml doing the changing as all the traffic of .ml users go through its servers

Correct, the user is on .ml (if others hadn’t noticed) so his comments are hosted on that server.

Are they? So if I read a post where users from hundreds of different servers are commenting, my phone has to make hundreds of requests to all those servers? Doesn’t seem right

Tanking is ok, but swearing goes too far.

Oppression has to start somewhere.

Yes that’s exactly what ml is doing. They have a slur filter.

bitch: A female canine animal, especially a dog.

Cool… my instance isn’t run by an idiot.

Check the user’s extension. He’s on ML posting to a discussion on WORLD. It makes perfect sense because unless the instance admins specifically block an instance then any instance’s users can post to any other instance community. That’s what Federation means. We’re all on individual instances that create a larger connected whole. That’s why the instance the user picks decides what they can post and where to.

Sorry to be that guy, but for clarity I believe at least for Lemmy that describes a blacklist configuration. Other option is similar where no instances are federated unless explicitly added to a white list like hexbear (?)

That is plausible but defeats the entire point of Federation in the first place. It makes sense for Hexbear to control the narrative their viewers see, though.

Never heard of this but in any case, I’ll test it. Bitch.

You’re on Lemmy.world so you’ll see it.

But Lemmy.ml users see this

It’s because they have a very broad definition of a slur with no regard for context. I don’t understand how people put up with it either since it makes other comment unclear. I would have assumed a way worse word was being censored above for example

I wonder if the filter applies to usernames.

That’s an interesting question actually. I wonder.

Haha get removed lemmy.ml removedes go removed on a bag of removed you removed half-removed removed

Wow. As if the .ml instance wasn’t already a joke!

You said, “bitch,” though?

Man, I looked this woman in her optic stems, and I said…

Biiiiiiiiiitttttccchhhhhh

I looked this woman into the windows of her soul, and I says…

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttcccchhhh…

I get and appreciate this reference 😂

You’re on one of the most authoritarian instance out there, it’s run by the people who run Hexbear. It’s a place for people who want NATO to dissolve, China to conquer Asia, and Russia to take over Europe.

Pretty sure Hexbear lets people say bitch.

It’s still the same people.

I thought it was the same people who run Lemmygrad, not Hexbear?

TBH I have no idea about who runs Lemmygrad, I rarely see them in the feed.

What a dickheaded bitch move

That’s not possible. Weird way to troll.

Edit: apparently possible. Not sure why users put up with being treated like kindergartners

Edit 2: people downvote some weird shit to downvote

IIRC Lemmy.ml had built in censorship.

Weird I’m just now seeing that. Also very very sad. I would never use a platform that censors words automatically, especially not the word “bitch”… wtf

Well it’s only for users from lemmy.ml, so as you’re one lemmy.world you don’t see it as often.

Right but I read comments from those users pretty regularly

I think it’s a safe space thing for them.

The clownery of the .ml instance

He’s my little removed boy, Jack. After a long day, pop pop needs to take a load off, you know? So I sit right on his face and read the papers, Jack. He loves it! We keep that little removed all tied up and my aides bring him over when I need a sit-down. He begs pop pop to sit on his face and use him as a little removed chair.

Unfortunately can’t unread this

You’re kidding with this “removed” shit, right? This would be funny without it

Lemmy.ml has a list of words they censor and this person is on lemmy.ml

Thanks. The first three times I was told wasn’t enough

Don’t ask three times then.

I mean, I didn’t, and when they asked that they were replying right alongside a single response which was someone already answering.

You’ve asked and complained about it ten different times in this thread.

As if this isn’t a complaint

I think there’s a swear filter on some instances which is pretty weak imo - so probably not the user who intentionally typed it out that way

The fuck is a “removed” removed?

Lemmy.ml censors anything that could be a slur regardless of context.

What a bunch of pussy bitches. Imagine being scared of words

They must be sweating like a dyslexic on Countdown

If you want the kind of community that “isn’t scared of words” there are plenty of free speech platforms out there that sound just like a COD lobby.

Unless you want to admit there are, in fact, quite a few words and behaviors you don’t want to be allowed, and you (and most people) just disagree on where the line is.

It is weird that .ml drew such a strict line though. It makes me wonder if they thought China might allow the Fediverse if they didn’t have naughty words flying around?
