I’ll be scrolling through lemmy world and occasionally I’ll see comments where a word in them has been replaced with removed. Usually from context it’s early a swear word, normal stuff not slurs.

Is this a lemmy.world censorship thing? A lemmy wide thing? I doubt it has anything to do with my app, unless Jerboa is censoring specific words.

Anyone else experiencing this?

What an odd choice for which word to censor.

It’s the one in the list that’s derogatory towards a specific group (women, in this case)

You’re not registered with lemmy.ml on your account. It’s not the client.

A female dog is called a bitch. That’s where the profanity comes from, you say that someone is like a female dog and lemmy.ml get real upset.
