Yep your instance can censor what you see, so im on lemmy.ml and what i see is:
But if i view it from the browser (directly instead of through lemmy.ml) it gets censored.
Meaning that your instance could potentially make it seem like somenody is saying something else, since they effectively edited your comment
That's even weirder, as some comments here have the "removed" for me and some "faggot" so I assumed it's just a prank. Scary that an instance can interfere with my own words that way. Deleting a whole comment is one thing, but twisting the words is a whole new level.
