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?

Easiest way to find out: shit fuck bitch asshole

Can you read those or are they censored?

What an odd choice for which word to censor.

It's the one in the list that's derogatory towards a specific group (women, in this case)
