      This is a . world community though…unless .ml is somehow able to filter their user’s posts??

          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

        Yes that’s exactly what ml is doing. They have a slur filter.

              dot ml is the only mainstream on to implement it afaik.

              There was a time (before the api exodus) where the devs were planning on making the filter compulsory for all instances, you can guess how that went.

                That seems ridiculous.

                I mean I can understand that some communities might be legit triggered by certain words, but just implement the filter between that instance and the users of that instance.

                Imposing it on all instances would be insane. If you don’t like the words that other instance are showing then don’t use that instance. That’s the strength of the fediverse concept to me, policies tailored to the community that’s on an instance.

        Check the user’s extension. He’s on ML posting to a discussion on WORLD. It makes perfect sense because unless the instance admins specifically block an instance then any instance’s users can post to any other instance community. That’s what Federation means. We’re all on individual instances that create a larger connected whole. That’s why the instance the user picks decides what they can post and where to.

          Sorry to be that guy, but for clarity I believe at least for Lemmy that describes a blacklist configuration. Other option is similar where no instances are federated unless explicitly added to a white list like hexbear (?)

            That is plausible but defeats the entire point of Federation in the first place. It makes sense for Hexbear to control the narrative their viewers see, though.

        You’re on Lemmy.world so you’ll see it.

        But Lemmy.ml users see this

            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

            That’s an interesting question actually. I wonder.
