    Nobody can read it, check the source of your comment. The word gets immediately replaced when you post. I’d like to know what words are forbidden, is there a list somewhere?

    Just to test how the filter behaves: Bi.tch.

      Nobody can read it, check the source of your comment.

      Correction: No one browsing through your specific server can read it. The rest of us see it just fine.

      From where I’m sitting, it seems like the filter is applied (a) when a lemmy.ml user makes a post (it strips it from the source and says removed for everyone) and (b) when lemmy.ml federates another instance’s comment over (source instance and any other non-censored federated instance has the word intact, ONLY you guys don’t see it).

      Come see!

      The filter is a text matching regex, and not terribly verbose. Very easy to circumvent
