Self censorship, the hardest one to bypass
I don't know, I think ml has some weirdness in its software that results in shit like this.
Hurts like fucking capitalism.
Dot ml considered "Bitch" a slur and blocks it. Kinda ironic in this case it stopped a woman from expressing herself.
Edit: actually rereading I'm not sure it's a woman posting.
It was not a woman... Poking cervix in any way fucking hurts as fuck.
Lets see if this also gets censored.
Yeah, sorry, I realized after that I was mixing up comments when replying.
Fuck isn't censored on your instance. It's not a general swear filter, just anything that could be used as a slur.
It's a filter on lemmy.ml users and communities. They can't say "Bitch" (female dog).
Hahahahaha, what times we live in
Good ol' lemmy.ml protecting our virgin eyes from terrifying words lest our fragile psyches break into an inconsolable mess. And lemmy is censorship resistant.
It still is. The filter isn't applied to any other instances.
I had forgotten bitch is one of their naughty words. Pitiful.
They consider it a slur against women regardless of context.
