Did you do that or admins?
Just for clarity my reply was not deleted by admins, I deleted a duplicate because of a bug and both replies got deleted.
Anyway, probably admins removed the cursing.
It's the automatic slur filter.
Is it possible to turn it off? I feel more censorship here in lemmy than reddit. Lemmy.world had some power tripping mods. Joined lemm.ee. I don't like curse words to be removed. If someone is personally attacking someone then can understand blocking him/her.
The account is from lemmy.ml, so they're the ones using the filter.
Only instance admins can configure it (including turning it off for all their users).
Oh, strange that he use b* as example but the only word removed was the b*. But ok, I don't mind.
"Look at you, hacker..." 😅
You can't curse? Motherfucker (testing)
Some puritan servers automatically censor certain swear words. If a user of one of those instances swear, the word is replaced with removed, if a user of another instance swears, only the puritan server users will see the word as censored, the rest will see the real word. The word for a female dog is one of those censored words for certain servers.
Even more reason for me to try self-hosting a Lemmy instance... I really need to get around to it some time lol
