Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.
On Lemmy, there’s no good reason. But they may be carrying over habits from other sites where there is harsh censorship of non-advertiser-friendly language
A better question is why do you feel the need to die on the hill of using slurs?
Fun fact 1: if you do get banned or have your comments removed you’ll only know if you check the modlogs. And likely only if you check the modlogs of the instance that took action against you as the modlogs don’t fully sync between each other.
Fun fact 2: you have been in the past, here’s a link to the mod actions against you on .ml
Fun fact 3: and so have I, I only just recently finished a 2 week ban over here on .ml for calling that kind of stuff out on here.
Edit: That didn’t take long @gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works looks like you got banned for your comment.
You can be goddamn polite and still swear without automatically becoming a fucking asshole.
White liberals don’t try to justify using slurs challenge 2023 [IMPOSSIBLE!]
Let’s just get this out of the way…
Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits. And sometimes fart turd twat bitch.
Whatever is censored is being filtered by your instance.
My video was posted 12 years ago and yours was only posted 9 years ago. Check mate, atheists.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Comes from the social media platforms that auto remove stories that contain certain words. Tiktok, Instagram, etc.
Cool, all the platforms I don’t use anyway.
Think I just don’t like places that are squeaky clean.
My mistake, I meant .ml, accidentally conflated the two.
I do come across a lot of removed while browsing on my .world account when the blahaj is being iffy, not sure what that is from.
A filter? Let me test it right now…
Fuck.
Unless this is a shadowban type filter, it seems to not be there…
Fun fact: you won’t get told when your stuff is removed or if you get banned. You have to check the modlogs.
This is Lemmy wide.
And looks like it’s still up as of 2 hours after you posted

Edit 2: Spleling
Did it work? How about bitch? That one came up often when searching to see where I fucked up with my info.
I think it’s not a swear filter, but more like a ‘potentially discriminatory terms’ filter.
Tbh that one drives me nuts, on some sites I can’t even say “Yeah I was bitching about Bad Idea’s availability to my shop’s owner and he said he didn’t want to carry their products because the guys running it are cunts.” (Curious to see what happens to this comment lmao)
Like dude, I’m the one I said was bitching about the thing, don’t fucking censor my colloquialisms, I wasn’t even trying to insult me!
I’ve seen that for words that are considered to be ‘triggers’, as if saying ‘r@pe’ is somehow different at all than just using the normal vowel.
That behavior drives me up the fucking wall, because by munging the word they make it less likely to be caught by user-invoked blocklists. Meaning they’re forcing people to be triggered after taking steps to avoid such.
Don’t fucking do that shit.
A lot of it comes from Tiktok culture. YouTube has started doing it too.
Videos that say “kill”, “rape”, “died”, etc are all deprioritized by the algorithm if not demonetized entirely.
People have been editing subtitles to avoid these words, and the behavior spread.
