Can't stand it. Censoring yourself so some random ass company can make more ad revenue.

Fuck that.

[–] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 116 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Come to Lemmy. We'll let you say "fuck".

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But not removed. Have to say B!tch instead....

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Unless you're on Lemmy.world.

[–] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not like Lemmy doesn't have a controversial slur filter itself.

[–] the_stormcrow@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Robaque@feddit.it 21 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 17 points 2 years ago

There's Lemmygrad if you're that kind of guy... But touching grass is available too.

[–] omgarm@feddit.nl 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is the exploding heads instance still alive? There you had some very different opinions.

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

[–] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 years ago

Oh no! People might challenge my opinions! The horror!

[–] GCostanzaStepOnMe@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can you say...all words on Lemmy?

[–] Acters@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Can you say any phrase from the combination of words on Lemmy?

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Fun fact: until not too long ago there was a language filter built right into Lemmy's source code.

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).

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

They're far right cosplaying leftists.

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 2 years ago

Wait, Hexbear is far right now for checks notes supporting China?

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Leftist instance that your instance preemptively defederated from, presumably so you could stay in your echo chamber

[–] TimLovesTech@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There is a language filter still that any admin can put words into.

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But it's not hard coded into the source code

[–] TimLovesTech@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, no predefined list ships in the code, just the ability to add words to the list.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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!

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 14 points 2 years ago

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.
