I'll be scrolling through lemmy world and occasionally I'll see comments where a word in them has been replaced with removed. Usually from context it's early a swear word, normal stuff not slurs.

Is this a lemmy.world censorship thing? A lemmy wide thing? I doubt it has anything to do with my app, unless Jerboa is censoring specific words.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I can see them all. On lemmy.world and Thunder on iOS.

They don’t want you to talk about female dogs.

A female dog is called a bitch. That's where the profanity comes from, you say that someone is like a female dog and lemmy.ml get real upset.

What an odd choice for which word to censor.

[-] DaedalistKraken@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

It's the one in the list that's derogatory towards a specific group (women, in this case)

[-] Nuuskis9@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

Wtf? I'm using Jerboa on Android and can't see anything removed.

[-] anon_water@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

You’re not registered with lemmy.ml on your account. It’s not the client.

[-] Nuuskis9@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

I understand now so thanks for telling me!

[-] ulu_mulu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
