🍹Early to RISA 🧉Anon is dating too young
brygphilomenaCan’t stand it. Censoring yourself so some random ass company can make more ad revenue.
Fuck that.
seitanicCome to Lemmy. We’ll let you say “fuck”.
Unless you’re on Lemmy.world.
atocciWhat's the deal with .world?
They censor no-no words, you’ll occasionally see removed in a comment from a Lemmy.world account.
They’re also emotional children that ban or defederate anyone who disagrees with them.
Basically, they’re reddit v2.
Hexbear was an absolute shitshow when they defederated from it so I don’t blame them. It’s now merely a shitmonologue. I’m pissed about dbzero, though. Is the word filter a real thing? Because I’ve been baiting people into acting out their malignant racist fantasies through promises of word filters and I’d hate to know that they exist in some capacity.
The word filter is very much a thing, yes.
I’m going to need someone from .world to reply with a few examples of censored words to be sure. Anything from ****** to ****.
The r-tard one is a notable example.
Let’s go!
Shit, fuck, ass, asshole, cunt, pussy, vagina, dick, cock, penis, prick, sex, screw, shag, bitch, bastard, bastich, damn, god, fag, faggot, motherfucker, unclefucker, horsefucker, suicide, kill yourself, retard, retarded, nigga, nigger, Margaret Thatcher.
Let me know if I missed a spot.
SpicyPeaSoupI hate this disgusting language. Please don't say Mrgart Thtchr online.
Wait… account switch didn’t work. Is this my .world account?
Margaret Thatcher
Shitty censorship filters seem to ignore the most depraved words sadly…
Margaret Thatcher
Fucking lol
Hard R too.
My stars!
I think they just ublocked the dbzero. Or at least I saw a post about it recently saying they’ve unblocked the piracy communities. I assume that’s what you’re referring to.
That’s genuinely good news. The unprompted piracy censorship was just weird.
I got the impression that it wasn’t exactly unprompted and that they had been being overwhelmed with take down requests. Like it or not, Lemmy instances do have to follow the laws of their local jurisdiction. Which means responding to take down requests when applicable. The post suggested that until they had tools to better manage that, they had to block them, but have unblocked them now which implies that they have those tools.
Yeah I’m torn here, absolutely fuck hexbear and Lemmygrad, but also, fuck that heavy censorship garbage right back to Facebook where it belongs.
Function first. Hexbear users on hexbear aren’t used to responding to people without reaction image barrages or endless effectively semantical arguments, and most people outside hexbear aren’t fans of that. Defederating the troll instance is just downright reasonable, not even getting into politics. They’ve chilled a bit since the initial excitement over federation. A. Bit.
This post is on lemmy.world so you can observe what is censored from my comment for yourself.
Suicide Dead Kill Terrorism Shit Fuck Ass Piss Dick Pussy Cock Cunt Dildo Rape Motherfucker Porn Transgender Lesbian Gay Bisexual
What do we have now? I left out racist slurs because I don’t feel the need to use those in any typical situation.
Biatch, r-tard, there’s a few others.
bitch & retard?
think i saw cocksucker censored once?
But not removed. Have to say B!tch instead…
🐑🇸 🇭 🇪 🇪 🇵 🇱 🇪🐑Depends on what instance you choose to use for your account. Just choose a different one if you are bothered by it.
Lmao nice we can say the word bitch. Based
LMFAO, which instances ban words so I can avoid making accounts there?
lemmy.ml is definitely one
I made my account in blahaj zone which is the best uncensored instance haha!
This is fine🔥🐶☕🔥
Ahem,
Fuck Ass Bitch Motherfucker, Kill Fuckers with Their Own Fucking Shit, Goddamn.
Thank you for your time.
DojanYou called?
ryannathansBut that’s about it. And god forfid you have differing ideology
RobaqueWhat ideology are you talking about? Sure, you might just be a salty liberal or propertarian, but such vaguery could easily be a dogwhistle for something sinister.
Is the exploding heads instance still alive? There you had some very different opinions.
ChaoticNeutralCzechThere’s Lemmygrad if you’re that kind of guy… But touching grass is available too.
Oh no! People might challenge my opinions! The horror!
starman2112Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat
Not like Lemmy doesn’t have a controversial slur filter itself.
Which makes no sense. How are the words picked? Is there a sliding scale, or an objectionable meter somewhere? Who decided that b!tch should be censored, but not cunt or skank?
GCostanzaStepOnMeCan you say…all words on Lemmy?
Can you say any phrase from the combination of words on Lemmy?
Fun fact: until not too long ago there was a language filter built right into Lemmy’s source code.
No mandarin allowed?
hexbear begins lighting torches
SickPandawhat is a hexbear?
A far right Lemmy instance.
Draconic NEOTechnically they’re far left (Tankies) but they don’t act that much different from far right in terms of behavior (such as their abusive and disruptive trolling).
They’re far right cosplaying leftists.
🏳️⚧️ 新星 [she/they]Wait, Hexbear is far right now for checks notes supporting China?
Leftist instance that your instance preemptively defederated from, presumably so you could stay in your echo chamber
ellieor maybe people are just tired of american neets larping as “leninists”
Ah yes, clearly nobody could actually be a communist (notwithstanding the existence of the CPC and others)? I’m not sure what your argument is supposed to be… the CIA murders them all?
There is a language filter still that any admin can put words into.
But it’s not hard coded into the source code
Yes, no predefined list ships in the code, just the ability to add words to the list.
I actually dig it a bit. They’re not really censoring themselves, they’re still talking about corn and seggs just in a way the app doesn’t yet recognize. Take that advertisers!
Yeah, they’re literally bypassing being censored. They’re continuing to talk about the shit that the company doesn’t want them to. It’s the opposite of what people are bitching about.
