Reddit activated a word filter that whenever you say "fuck spez", your comment won't show up for anyone else. I just tested it on ModCoord. they're also deleting spez memes from the subs they nuked lo (kbin.social)

r/ModCoord: The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them

the OP asked how are they gonna remove them all, so I replied they'll run a query for terms like "fuck spez". only to find my comment invisible, because they're already blocking it. spez protective word filter, it's active right now.

Oh goodness, could you even write a filter for zalgo? I don't think you could

Run the text through a normalizer that strips combining characters then run your filter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are characters that have two or three combining diacritic marks already included, so if you start with one of those, it'll make it harder to filter out.

That's what the normalizer is for. Normalize to NFD, strip combiners, map homoglyphs to ASCII, and look for ASCII “fuck spez”.
