What pearl clutching son of a bitch at lemmy.ml decided its users were too fragile to hear the word “bitch”? And here’s the real question, can you read ot or does it censor mine? Because if you can read it then what’s the point of censoring your own users?
If the swear is posted on kbin, and viewed on kbin, it is not censored. Which is why I can view ‘bitch’ when posted by kbin folks. And I assume they can read mine.
Nobody can read it, check the source of your comment. The word gets immediately replaced when you post. I’d like to know what words are forbidden, is there a list somewhere?

Correction: No one browsing through your specific server can read it. The rest of us see it just fine.
From where I’m sitting, it seems like the filter is applied (a) when a lemmy.ml user makes a post (it strips it from the source and says removed for everyone) and (b) when lemmy.ml federates another instance’s comment over (source instance and any other non-censored federated instance has the word intact, ONLY you guys don’t see it).
You can swear on the internet. Violence? Gore? No problem!
A bad word? Son of a removed, we’re all going to die.
Edit: Wtf, there is a swear filter? Fuck.

Edit: yeah Kbin lets you say it.

Just to test how the filter behaves: Bi.tch.

Come see!
The filter is a text matching regex, and not terribly verbose. Very easy to circumvent
Test of the instance slur filter, please ignore:
bitchy, retard, cock
Just move on to a better instance that isn’t run by tankies. Problem solved.

That’s how the Fediverse works. That word is constantly used in inflammatory comments. Don’t like the rules, then leave.
No, it’s not how “the Fediverse works” it’s how lemmy.ml works.
I meant how the fediverse works as in each instance can have its own rules and if you don’t like the rules you find a different instance.
It works based on instance.
Time to switch to a different instance you fucking fuck face!
Interesting. You can say fuck but son of a bitch is censored… what about son of a fuck?
Might be it doesn’t filter edits
Oh yeah hadn’t thought of that
Fuck a bitch maybe?
But my point was that ‘bitch’ was being censored in his comment, but not ‘fuck’
So it’d still be fuck a removed
Plus I gotta be honest, not a fan of that one. Like how people aren’t a fan on moist.
Funny, fuck isn’t censored but bitch is
It’s “whore”, not “bitch.”
Ah gotcha. Makes a bit more sense I guess whore could be considered a slur
Time to switch to a different instance you fucking fuck face!
Kyle’s mom’s a bitch…
looks like tankies love censorship, who would have guessed
