I’m not hating on this by the way, in fact I think it’s kinda funny!

      Are there any instances that you know of that disable the censorship? I already got my fill of cybernannies on Reddit.

      Edit: My alt on sh.itjust.works can see the censored words, and it defederates with much fewer instances than lemmy.ml. Seems like migrating over there is the best choice.

      Edit 2: I think I’ve finally figured it out based on what my sh.itjust.works account shows:

      1. If you’re on a censored instance, all words will be blocked no matter what
      2. If you’re on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a censored instance, that comment will still show up as removed
      3. If you’re on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a non-censored instance, the comment won’t be censored

      When I’m on my sh.itjust.works profile, the comment by @Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network isn’t censored, but mine still is. So, the censorship gets you both coming and going - no censored words can make it into a censored instance, and no censored words can make it out either.

      I’ve just edited all of my scripts to point to my sh.itjust.works profile instead of lemmy.ml. Wish there was a way to migrate comments and posts over, but no biggie.

      Has anyone made a multi-Lemmy yet? Where all of your posts and comments from all of your profiles can show up in one place?

      (also, what’s the formatting for double-spacing after a list?)

        Considering that the list of words contains ones that a NSFW/porn instance would probably want allowed, my guess is one of those.

      Lemmy has hard coded censorship

      I’ve noticed that a few of my comments wouldn’t actually post. The word for when you commit Sudoku (suicide) seems to be on the no-no list. I also wanted to comment about a weapon known by a two letter designation (AK) and that wasn’t allowed either.

      Edit: seems like it might be some instances only.

      I’m pretty sure they removed the hardcoded filter as a result of the original discussion.

      I can see everyone’s swears. Nothing seems to be censored for me. Is it because lemmy.world doesn’t censor or is it because Voyager (third party app) doesn’t censor?

      What was the first letter of the word you tried to type, and what does it rhyme with?

        • @MartinXYZ@lemmy.ml

          Turns out it’s probably slurs that get censored so b-word is a no-go but Cunt is fine the one that rhymes with bore is out but Fuck is fine.

          That’s odd, I see other users are able to write it. It’s probably a limitation of your home instance specifically.

    Certain words are being censored. I really don’t love it but we can all fill in the blanks.

    Meanwhile on Beehaw, where the only rule is to be nice, I can say “bitch bitch bitchity bitch” all I want, as long as I’m nice about it.

    Which, I guess, limits its applications to discussions about dogs.
