Can't stand it. Censoring yourself so some random ass company can make more ad revenue.
Fuck that.
Come to Lemmy. We'll let you say "fuck".
But not removed. Have to say B!tch instead....
Bitch?
Lmao nice we can say the word bitch. Based as fuck, bitch
LMFAO, which instances ban words so I can avoid making accounts there?
lemmy.ml is definitely one
I made my account in blahaj zone which is the best uncensored instance haha!
Yeah bitch
Ahem,
Fuck Ass Bitch Motherfucker, Kill Fuckers with Their Own Fucking Cunt Shit, Goddamn.
Thank you for your time.
You called?
Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat
Unless you're on Lemmy.world.
Not like Lemmy doesn't have a controversial slur filter itself.
Which makes no sense. How are the words picked? Is there a sliding scale, or an objectionable meter somewhere? Who decided that b!tch should be censored, but not cunt or skank?
But that's about it. And god forbid you have differing ideology
What ideology are you talking about? Sure, you might just be a salty liberal or propertarian, but such vaguery could easily be a dogwhistle for something sinister.
There's Lemmygrad if you're that kind of guy... But touching grass is available too.
Is the exploding heads instance still alive? There you had some very different opinions.
They moved to Nostr since there they can't be defederated and shut their Lemmy instance down, I bet they'll later claim that us or the ADL shut them down because conspiracy theories are juicier.
Oh no! People might challenge my opinions! The horror!
Can you say...all words on Lemmy?
Can you say any phrase from the combination of words on Lemmy?
Fun fact: until not too long ago there was a language filter built right into Lemmy's source code.
No mandarin allowed?
hexbear begins lighting torches
what is a hexbear?
A far right Lemmy instance.
Technically they're far left (Tankies) but they don't act that much different from far right in terms of behavior (such as their abusive and disruptive trolling).
They're far right cosplaying leftists.
Wait, Hexbear is far right now for checks notes supporting China?
Leftist instance that your instance preemptively defederated from, presumably so you could stay in your echo chamber
Ah yes, clearly nobody could actually be a communist (notwithstanding the existence of the CPC and others)? I’m not sure what your argument is supposed to be… the CIA murders them all?
There is a language filter still that any admin can put words into.
But it's not hard coded into the source code
Yes, no predefined list ships in the code, just the ability to add words to the list.
I actually dig it a bit. They're not really censoring themselves, they're still talking about corn and seggs just in a way the app doesn't yet recognize. Take that advertisers!
Yeah, they're literally bypassing being censored. They're continuing to talk about the shit that the company doesn't want them to. It's the opposite of what people are bitching about.
