In this comment my use of the “b” word was overzealously suppressed, silently without telling me. I only discovered it when re-reading my post.

There are THREE #LemmyBug cases here:

  1. when the “b” word is used as a verb, it’s not a slur. And when it’s used as a noun, it’s only a slur if not literally referring to a dog.

  2. my post was tampered with without even telling me. Authors should be informed when their words are manipulated and yet still presented to others as their own words.

  3. The word “removed” cannot simply replace any word. It makes my sentence unreadable. In the very least, the word should be “REDACTED”, and there should be a footnote added that explains /why/ it was redacted.

    It’s not a fork or version number thing. It’s just a instance admin toggle as far as I’m aware.

    Lemmy.ml was actually the only one I knew of previously with it enabled.

    sh.itjust.works, lemmy.ca, lemmy.world, etc all dont have the filter.

    Have you messaged your instance admin? They may not be fully aware of the implications of having the filter on.

    And regarding cloudflair at least on sh.itjust.works we’re still hoping its a temporary measure.
