    Dude, you’re on lemmy.ml which censors your words. Try to write ‘bitch’ for example, you can’t. You also can’t read it, it will show as removed (only for lemmy.ml users).

      This thing. This thing always confuses me. Sometimes I see ‘removed’ and sometimes I can actually read the words people write. I’m always reading from my Mander account, why the disparity? I can read b*t.ch in your post but I often come across removeds

      For real? Is there any source for this? I’m really to lazy rn to try this but this would be ridiculous

        It’s true.

        That’s what it looks like on my lemmy.ml account.

        That’s what it looks like on my lemmy.world account.

        I genuinely had no idea. That’s insane.

          What a weird decision. There are definitely words I wouldn’t mind having auto-removed, but bitch?? Don’t start a dog breeding community on lemmy.ml, I guess! And forget Freddy Kreuger or Jesse Pinkman ever having accounts there!

          Except piracy is good and slurs are bad. 😏

          It’s possible to ban bad things and not ban good things. Free speech absolutism “never ban anything, everything is permitted!” is a child’s understanding of censorship.

            The only other place that would ban a word like “bitch” is probably a kindergarten, so wtf are you talking about
