    Did you censor the word “bitch” or is this some sort of fucking idiot censorship on lemmy.world? Fucking swear I’ll leave this instance at a drop of a hat if it is dumbass censorship. (Edit: It’s shitty ass lemmy.ml that’s censoring it, which is the above users home instance.)

    Words don’t need to be blanket censored on the internet. Go ham with moderation but censoring words is how we end up with weird phrases like “unalive” instead of what they actually are murder, suicide, and death. Which makes it fucking hard to talk about fucking real god damn mother fucking problems people are dealing with you corporate bitch ass shills.

        I had the same thing on another comment when I quoted the pope and I got downvoted because morons thought I self censored instead of the instance doing it.

            I just tested commenting ass somewhere else and it was not censored.

            EDIT: No censorship here either, this time.🤷

              The word was “female dog.” Not ass. Because dessalinator is a bitch himself who has decided that that word is exclusively for referring to women negatively, I guess, which sounds pretty fucking dumb (if not misogynist itself) to me considering all the other contexts (especially “bad female dog,” “I’m 100% that female dog,” etc).

            That’s a bit fucking dumb to reciprocate censorship, but also it would be hard to stop that functionality as well. But yeah I logged out and checked and my comment is 100% intact. Should defederate from .ml and put them on an island. Editing my comment to make it clear what idiot instance is the issue.
