Why does Biden just say “yeah he’s my removed boy”? It would completely undermine the image Trump and the Republicans build of themselves.
What's a "removed boy?"
I typed b I t c h and something changed it
Lemmy.ml has a whole bunch of swear filters.
This is a . world community though...unless .ml is somehow able to filter their user's posts??
I think its the .ml doing the changing as all the traffic of .ml users go through its servers
Correct, the user is on .ml (if others hadn't noticed) so his comments are hosted on that server.
Are they? So if I read a post where users from hundreds of different servers are commenting, my phone has to make hundreds of requests to all those servers? Doesn't seem right
Your phone queries your home instance, your instance fetches comments from the other servers.
Tanking is ok, but swearing goes too far.
Oppression has to start somewhere.
Yes that's exactly what ml is doing. They have a slur filter.
Never heard of this but in any case, I'll test it. Bitch.
You're on Lemmy.world so you'll see it.
But Lemmy.ml users see this
Boggles the mind
It's because they have a very broad definition of a slur with no regard for context. I don't understand how people put up with it either since it makes other comment unclear. I would have assumed a way worse word was being censored above for example
I had a comment removed for using a racial slur because I called them tankies lol. Poor little snowflakes. Fwiw I'm literally a socialist, I just don't support authoritarianism and genocide and blatant human rights abuses.
Literally no actual socialist does.
Red fascists tho
Apparently .ml people are red/ brown colorblind. Didn't even know that was a type of colorblindness.
I wonder if the filter applies to usernames.
That's an interesting question actually. I wonder.
Haha get removed lemmy.ml removedes go removed on a bag of removed you removed half-removed removed
Wow. As if the .ml instance wasn't already a joke!
You said, "bitch," though?
What a dickheaded bitch move
That's not possible. Weird way to troll.
Edit: apparently possible. Not sure why users put up with being treated like kindergartners
Edit 2: people downvote some weird shit to downvote
IIRC Lemmy.ml had built in censorship.
Weird I'm just now seeing that. Also very very sad. I would never use a platform that censors words automatically, especially not the word "bitch".. wtf
Well it's only for users from lemmy.ml, so as you're one lemmy.world you don't see it as often.
Right but I read comments from those users pretty regularly
Their users are either fine with it, and don't use those words, or get annoyed and sign up somewhere else. So you probably won't see it much.
I think it’s a safe space thing for them.
The clownery of the .ml instance
He's my little removed boy, Jack. After a long day, pop pop needs to take a load off, you know? So I sit right on his face and read the papers, Jack. He loves it! We keep that little removed all tied up and my aides bring him over when I need a sit-down. He begs pop pop to sit on his face and use him as a little removed chair.
Unfortunately can’t unread this
You're kidding with this "removed" shit, right? This would be funny without it
Lemmy.ml has a list of words they censor and this person is on lemmy.ml
Thanks. The first three times I was told wasn't enough
Don't ask three times then.
Thritches
Britches
You’ve asked and complained about it ten different times in this thread.
As if this isn't a complaint
You're welcome
I think there’s a swear filter on some instances which is pretty weak imo - so probably not the user who intentionally typed it out that way
The fuck is a "removed" removed?
Lemmy.ml censors anything that could be a slur regardless of context.
What a bunch of pussy bitches. Imagine being scared of words
They must be sweating like a dyslexic on Countdown
If you want the kind of community that "isn't scared of words" there are plenty of free speech platforms out there that sound just like a COD lobby.
Unless you want to admit there are, in fact, quite a few words and behaviors you don't want to be allowed, and you (and most people) just disagree on where the line is.
It is weird that .ml drew such a strict line though. It makes me wonder if they thought China might allow the Fediverse if they didn't have naughty words flying around?
I was just trying to trigger the algorithm
Free speech is for racists and cunts tbh
