So, not sure if I am completely off base here, but I had this odd thing happen today where I couldn't post an URL because whenever I did, part of it would be replaced with the text removed. You can see what I am talking about in the screenshot, and I am linking my comment below. Another commenter replied saying it was likely something related to a slur filter in my instance, so I am coming here for help to understand the issue. Sorry if this is completely wrong, I am not very well versed in the workings of the fediverse and different instance implementations. Here's the comment:

it's removed from our slur filter now

Just out of sheer curiosity, do you know what might have gotten it added in the first place? Is it a substring of some obscure slur? Substring of some spam domain or something?

Anyway, thanks for the fix

it was a significant part of the brand of a spam/advertisement campaign several months ago
