Lemmy.ml has a whole bunch of swear filters.

[–] Brunbrun6766 13 points 5 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 41 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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

Tanking is ok, but swearing goes too far.

[–] jaybone 13 points 5 months ago

Oppression has to start somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

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 had a comment removed for using a racial slur because I called them tankies lol. Poor little snowflakes. Fwiw I'm literally a socialist, I just don't support authoritarianism and genocide and blatant human rights abuses.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Literally no actual socialist does.

Red fascists tho

[–] butwhyishischinabook 6 points 5 months ago

Apparently .ml people are red/ brown colorblind. Didn't even know that was a type of colorblindness.

[–] jaybone 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if the filter applies to usernames.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

That's an interesting question actually. I wonder.

[–] misterundercoat 7 points 5 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure Hexbear lets people say bitch.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

It's still the same people.

The clownery of the .ml instance

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (17 children)

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.
