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:

Really, what’s so dangerous about a theapp?
Depends who posted it too
Testing: theapp
It only matters what instance you’re logged into when viewing. Lemmy.World has a censor filter. Nobody else, that I’ve seen, does.
Edit: MrKaplan apparently removed it from the filter only moments ago.
lemmy.ml famously censors “bitch”.
Edit: for my dot ml friends, “a female dog”
Highly recommend reading the Examples section of that page
Ha, thanks for the reference. Now I am trying to think of what offensive word “the app” could be a substring for
Maybe someone just really wants us to use the website.
That doesn’t seem likely in 2024
I couldn’t find anything, probably a spam domain at some point, maybe
They just removed it, and now I can see it all in your comment :)
