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!
