Nope. They have brought in the corporate ghoul consultants. There is no context or feeling the situation. Just “oh, this was really popular last time, let’s continue milking it, what could go wrong”.
“Hey Spez, we’re going to use your site, consume the ads you give us, pay for useless premium features, drive up engagement, and participate in your meaningless events but fuck you so take that” - average Redditor
They’ve already used one CEO as a fall guy (er… fall gal). Not that I’m a fan, but do we really think spez is the one person in charge of all the stuff going down?
Yes and no. CEOs do have autonomy but in a case like Reddit they are also beholden to the Board of Directors. They make commitments/predictions/projections for the board all toward the ultimate end of working toward a high return on investment for the members of the board and other shareholders. The CEO is then responsible to make these things come true and has autonomy to do things as he sees fit. But if the board has enough power, in any case where they don’t like how the CEO is performing, they will eventually vote to remove him.
oh god it’s pathetic… I remember very well the first r/place, then the second one was super cool too! But this one, wow, super pathetic :-( shame on reddit…
I mean employees aren’t dumb and any opportunity to make management look stupid for stupid decisions that likely cost themselves (remember they get stock) money they will 100% take.
What pearl clutching son of a bitch at lemmy.ml decided its users were too fragile to hear the word “bitch”? And here’s the real question, can you read ot or does it censor mine? Because if you can read it then what’s the point of censoring your own users?
Or stay and rightfully criticize the instances that use words filters.
Here’s a wild idea: word filters are the most brain-dead way to deal with a problem. They don’t understand context – you can’t even use a “bad word” so people understand what you’re denouncing. You can’t share your experience with being called a removed.
They’re also easily bypassed with odd spellings by people that are going to use a “no no word” to be assholes.
If the swear is posted on kbin, and viewed on kbin, it is not censored. Which is why I can view ‘bitch’ when posted by kbin folks. And I assume they can read mine.
Nobody can read it, check the source of your comment. The word gets immediately replaced when you post. I’d like to know what words are forbidden, is there a list somewhere?

Correction: No one browsing through your specific server can read it. The rest of us see it just fine.
From where I’m sitting, it seems like the filter is applied (a) when a lemmy.ml user makes a post (it strips it from the source and says removed for everyone) and (b) when lemmy.ml federates another instance’s comment over (source instance and any other non-censored federated instance has the word intact, ONLY you guys don’t see it).
Aight, then it’s visual based on the instance, I guess. Which I would say isn’t useful at all, it’s the Scunthorpe problem and euphemism treadmill (see people saying corn, unalive, et cetera). Oh well…
Just fyi, i used the w word because it is the most accurate translation. Hurensohn means Sohn einer Hure, Son einer Hure, Son of a Hure, Son of a removed
Changing it to “removed” instead just drives the euphemism treadmill faster, people will find ways to say the same without those specific words. Whether something is a slur is also very context-dependent. Something computers as of yet aren’t well equipped to handle.
Iirc, lemmy.ml is a specifically leftist instance, right? They may have banned the word because of its sexist nature. A bit like allowing fuck, but not allowing the other f word that generally applies to gay men. Swearing isn’t the issue, slurs or derogatory terms are.
The timing, the bots, the board, everything about this edition just feels weird… Definitely doesn’t spark the same joy as earlier editions. Could’ve expected this ofcourse, just sad that a good decent thing is burning to ground
I completely don’t care about this 3rd edition… first and second one I placed pixel every 5 minutes, this one I just saw it because of this post and the result is pathetic
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
Rules:
Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
Nope. They have brought in the corporate ghoul consultants. There is no context or feeling the situation. Just “oh, this was really popular last time, let’s continue milking it, what could go wrong”.
What is this supposed to accomplish?
“Hey Spez, we’re going to use your site, consume the ads you give us, pay for useless premium features, drive up engagement, and participate in your meaningless events but fuck you so take that” - average Redditor
that used to be the average redditor
I would say the average has gotten much much worse if morons like me got fed up with the greedy little pigboy
The only difference now is the “fuck spez” part. All those redditors aren’t redditors anymore.
Except they are still redditors, it requires an account to place pixels.
They only waited one year when we had to wait 5 years for the previous one. No they’re fooling us
Higher traffic stats means higher user engagement. It helps with higher valuation for the IPO.
If you want to hurt them, remove your content, do a GDPR request, and disengage. Focus on the Fediverse instead.
That’s what I don’t get. How could they think that this wouldn’t happen?
I’m not sure I totally get it, what happened?
/r/places is a thing on Reddit where people cooperate to make art. People are using that opportunity to lambast Reddit at Reddit’s expense
I never actually visited r/place, but it seems like it’s just drawball copied by Reddit. Is that accurate?
They are aiming for this as a distraction

This makes total sense. They should change that to “fuck Reddit”.
Only reason to bring r/pics now instead of April 1st was to drive the engagement, and by looks of it Reddit succeeded immensely in that.
They baited people and everyone bit it.
I don’t think anyone at Reddit cares what message is passed through this as long as they get traffic.
They are like Velma of social media
Users have even gone full French revolution but admins are quite obviously blanking it out every few minutes with a db overwrite.
Very onbrand for the french
Apparently the admins are nuking that one.
oh god it’s pathetic… I remember very well the first r/place, then the second one was super cool too! But this one, wow, super pathetic :-( shame on reddit…

The text in the german flag area translates to
male descendant of a prostitute.
You can swear on the internet. Violence? Gore? No problem!
A bad word? Son of a removed, we’re all going to die.
Edit: Wtf, there is a swear filter? Fuck.
Kyle’s mom’s a bitch…
looks like tankies love censorship, who would have guessed
Funny, fuck isn’t censored but bitch is
It’s “whore”, not “bitch.”
Ah gotcha. Makes a bit more sense I guess whore could be considered a slur
Time to switch to a different instance you fucking fuck face!
Time to switch to a different instance you fucking fuck face!
Interesting. You can say fuck but son of a bitch is censored… what about son of a fuck?
Might be it doesn’t filter edits
Oh yeah hadn’t thought of that
Fuck a bitch maybe?
But my point was that ‘bitch’ was being censored in his comment, but not ‘fuck’
So it’d still be fuck a removed
Plus I gotta be honest, not a fan of that one. Like how people aren’t a fan on moist.
What pearl clutching son of a bitch at lemmy.ml decided its users were too fragile to hear the word “bitch”? And here’s the real question, can you read ot or does it censor mine? Because if you can read it then what’s the point of censoring your own users?
Edit: yeah Kbin lets you say it.
That’s how the Fediverse works. That word is constantly used in inflammatory comments. Don’t like the rules, then leave.
Or stay and rightfully criticize the instances that use words filters.

It’s the clbuttic mistake
No, it’s not how “the Fediverse works” it’s how lemmy.ml works.
I meant how the fediverse works as in each instance can have its own rules and if you don’t like the rules you find a different instance.
It works based on instance.

Just to test how the filter behaves: Bi.tch.
Test of the instance slur filter, please ignore:
bitchy, retard, cock
I can read every swear in this thread except the root post.
The filter is a text matching regex, and not terribly verbose. Very easy to circumvent

Come see!
Just move on to a better instance that isn’t run by tankies. Problem solved.
No, it translate to “son of a prostitute”.
For anyone who wants to swear in german, just say
But fast
I’d say ran is a bit closer than rain, but either way, that’s still very English German.
u/spez is a son of bïtch
Is b word not allowed on lemmy.ml?
It isn’t allowed, but I don’t think my instance bans bitch
Well, I can only see “removed” instead of whatever you were trying to convey.
Hunter2
I can see b!tch
Aight, then it’s visual based on the instance, I guess. Which I would say isn’t useful at all, it’s the Scunthorpe problem and euphemism treadmill (see people saying corn, unalive, et cetera). Oh well…
Just fyi, i used the w word because it is the most accurate translation. Hurensohn means Sohn einer Hure, Son einer Hure, Son of a Hure, Son of a removed
A lot of translations of “Spez ist ein hurensohn” translates to “Spez is a son on of a bitch” – although “hurensohn” is more literally “whore’s son”
Edit: Seems like it’s just your instance (lemmy.ml)
slurs in general are not allowed on lemmy.ml
Das glaub ich nicht Hurensohn
Changing it to “removed” instead just drives the euphemism treadmill faster, people will find ways to say the same without those specific words. Whether something is a slur is also very context-dependent. Something computers as of yet aren’t well equipped to handle.
Yeah it’s censored :/
Well how am I supposed to reference a female dog then?
A heccin’ G O O D G I R L E, obviously.
I would say /u/spez, but that seems mean to the dog.
Iirc, lemmy.ml is a specifically leftist instance, right? They may have banned the word because of its sexist nature. A bit like allowing fuck, but not allowing the other f word that generally applies to gay men. Swearing isn’t the issue, slurs or derogatory terms are.
That’s pretty gay
Sincerely, a gay dude
Small test: Dio porco Cunt Vaffanculo Hurensohn Dickhead
What a joke is this the US? For europeans these swear words are fine. u/spez ist ein HÜR3ns0hn
Hmm. Testing to see: removed.
That’s crazy, it even blocks my ex wife’s name.
Ladies and/or gentlemen, this is a historic moment: the second coming of hunter2.
What’s “*******”?
It’s blocks your wife’s name, too? Sometimes else try.
“Offspring of a harlot”

Going about as I expected.
Reddit does not care. It’s just engagement for them.
