Censoring the word retarded like this, is retarded

Looks like lemmy.ml censors it.

[–] Hildegarde 19 points 8 months ago

Well that's removed

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Are they showing off? Or ... Why are they posting that?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Of course they censored it. Can't stand being reminded why they're tankies.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I get that some instances censor certain words, but would that also affect posts that are simply images that happen to show letters?

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

No, it's not very sophisticated. Which is why it's a stupid idea.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I enjoy that they didn't need to send to the word fucking but we can't have the bad R word.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If it's your home instance, it could be against community rules to post images with those words.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

OP isn't from .ml though, so that wouldn't matter

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Seems very english-centered... are there no french speakers on lemmy ml?

Si je parle du retard qu'a eu mon train, je suis censuré ?

[–] JustUseMint 2 points 8 months ago

This is hilarious, thanks for sharing lol

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 2 points 8 months ago

It's the same way with removed on lemmy.world

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like something a retard would say.

[–] Nudding 14 points 8 months ago

[–] GlitterInfection 9 points 8 months ago

Probably not dicks.

From the looks of the last 3 letters it ends in ard, and has three letters before those.

Yeah, ret followed by ard. Just in case you're still having trouble and your instance filters it.

I can't remember his name, but there was an English criminal who pretended to be crazy to get put in a psych hospital, found out it was worse than prison, then had to stay there because the doctors wouldn't believe that it was an act. Maybe a Brit can remember who he is/was.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if you're misremembering or not but I know that there was a case where a journalist successfully managed to get themselves committed so that they could write about the conditions within.

And it took them quite some time to get released because they've done such a good job of pretending to be crazy to get in.

[–] Buddahriffic 17 points 8 months ago

If it's the same one I'm thinking of, once he got out he raised an uproar over it because it was a clear sign people making decisions about who should be free or not in mental institutions weren't as good at it as they claimed to be and they challenged him to send others and they'd catch them this time.

A while later, they said, "See? We caught 3 of your guys!" But they hadn't sent any.

Don't know if it's based on reality but this is the plot of 'One Flew over Cuckoo's Nest'

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 24 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The removal of the word retard is the biggest transgression in this post and it's retarded.

As someone who grew up being called retarded the censorship of the word retard is retarded.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I mean at least I'm not one of those people who clutches my pearls cause I can't say the n word anymore.

But as a retarded fag I'm saying both

It's funny when people censor a 4chan post. The act itself justified the existence.
