No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
It's not even just words. It's phrases that don't contain any bad language at all. If you don't know you don't know. They're silencing free speech. And like I said, completely sensible things that there's no reason to delete, while toxic comments and foul language remain undeleted.
The fact that you wont give examples speaks volumes.
There are lots of different things that are deleted if you look at other people's experiences with the same thing online. Reasonable criticism of governments or corporations and industries, referencing scientific studies, etc. It does not say anything the fact that I'm asking for a solution to this issue and I'm not interested in starting a debate here over the exact content that's being removed. It does not breach any rules, it's unproblematic, and should be allowed. If you don't have a solution, then thanks but I'm not here to discuss why you don't think we should be allowed to say certain things.
How can anyone help if you won't provide specific examples of what is being filtered? Can you provide some example comments that were filtered?
Why would you need to know what was being removed in order to suggest a character format that doesn't get deleted? That doesn't make sense to me. The actual content is irrelevant.
No one's been able to answer this very basic question. Just downvoting with no explanation even though your logic is flawed.
What about knowing the specific content would enable you to suggest a text character that doesn't get removed?
If you could suggest a text character that doesn't get removed, then knowing the specific content, which is varied anyway, would not change your ability to suggest that text character since you would be able to suggest it anyway.
Because you are not giving us enough info to work with.
Imagine you going to a book store and being the clerk in this scenario
Cust: I am looking for a passage of text from an obscure book. Clerk: Ok, what is the text you are looking for.
Cust: I don't want to tell you.
Clerk: ok, what book is it from?
Cust: I can't say.
You are being that customer right now. You need to help us help you.
Since your example isn't accurate, I'll modify it to make a more apt analogy.
Cust: I am looking for a passage of text from an obscure book.
Clerk: Ok, what is the book you are looking for.
Cust: It's called "Ancient Unholy Incantations"
Clerk: oh, why do you want that book? Why why why?
Cust: I can't really say because it's various things I can't really remember.
Clerk: Tell me! Or else I can't help. I physically can't. It's not that I don't want to because I don't believe your intentions are good and need convincing. Something... would prevent me from doing so.
Cust: Ok well it's sort of for a lot of different purposes, like just random stuff, maybe for making my dog happy, or for helping grow my garden.
Clerk: No, no, tell me more! What is it? You haven't given me enough information. I can't help you!
Cust: Are you sure it's not just that you don't want to because you assume my intentions are bad?
Clerk: You are alt-right!!!
I thought you said cunt, lol.
Sorry I've kind of given up trying to get people to believe me or help me.
There's no reason you can't theoretically provide a text character that allows to bypass random YouTube comments deletion, unless you don't want to.
And like I said, it's lots of random comments. I could say something like "Honda is the best car" and it gets deleted. Or, "Wow this guy must be taking creatine". I'm using random examples because that's what it is. Literally just random stuff.
Maybe you'll empathise, maybe not. Be sure to downvote my comment though ;)
The reason is easy. There is no text character that bypasses the non-random deletion by channel admins. If you post enough shit, they'll put you on the banlist of their 3rd party automod bots. Every time you post anything while you are on their banlist, your comments will be automatically deleted.
And guess what: many channel admins actually share their banlists. So you aren't on only one channel's banlist, but on many.
Post less conspiracy shit, and you won't get banned.
Your Google account is worthless on Youtube now.
It's not channel specific at all. I know creators personally who have said they're not doing anything to my comments and they have no idea why my comments get removed.
And again you're assuming I'm posting "conspiracy shit" and leaving no room for the possibility that YouTube's comment deletion system is completely broken in some cases. There's no reason to remove the completely normal harmless comments I'm posting. Having this much faith in technology and AI to do its job properly is really concerning more than anything tbh.
The answers are just as specific as the question. If you want a more informational answer, ask a more informational question.
I'm not alt right. I'm left wing. What isn't how free speech works? I didn't even say what the content was that was being removed. You're making a lot of assumptions.
That isn't how free speech works.
All it means is that the government can't stop you from saying what you want. It doesn't mean that you can say whatever you want with no repercussions.
YouTube is not the government. It has terms and conditions that you agree to when you sign up. They have a right to delete your comments. You do not have the right to post whatever you want.
Sorry, but that's the truth of it. If you circumvent the built in filters, then users can still downvote / report you and creators can still delete your messages.
Yeah, that's fine. If they want to delete comments that are actually problematic, I don't have a problem with that. But the system is actually broken. Nothing I'm saying is problematic. I'll give you an example. What you just said now could easily be deleted. What I'm saying right now could easily be deleted. Anything I say could be deleted for no apparent reason when there's nothing wrong with it at all. That's what people aren't understanding.
Are you new to the internet?
No reason for downvoting. Muh muh hivemind.
Can you provide examples so that I can know?
