Wait, doesn't it just say "removed" for all of you? Is my instance doing that?
Yeah... It's the slur filter, now days it can be enabled or not by the instance but in past it was hard coded. Unfortunately I don't think there is individual user setting to disable it for themselves.
What a load of bs. Why make it a blanket decision at all???
They didn't even want to allow people disabling it at all ... like you needed to fork it and change the code if you wanted that ... If anything it has improved.
At least something >_>
It is yeah. Ml does that
This might actually make me switch instances. I don't get what the point of the filter even is, I'm not 6 anymore, it's fine if I see no-no words.
I see the original word. I’m on sh.itjust.works if that’s helpful, you can imagine they probably don’t filter bad words :-)
My biggest complaint is that I can't actually see what slur was removed, and there are some softball words in the list that I honestly don't give a shit about, so I am always hesitant to report one of these posts because I don't know exactly what they said.
"Removed" could be the n-word, or it could just be a rude word, so how am I supposed to make a call whenever I see it?
