Is it possible to turn it off? I feel more censorship here in lemmy than reddit. Lemmy.world had some power tripping mods. Joined lemm.ee. I don’t like curse words to be removed. If someone is personally attacking someone then can understand blocking him/her.
Some puritan servers automatically censor certain swear words. If a user of one of those instances swear, the word is replaced with removed, if a user of another instance swears, only the puritan server users will see the word as censored. The word for a female dog is one of those censored words for certain servers.
Did you do that or admins?
Just for clarity my reply was not deleted by admins, I deleted a duplicate because of a bug and both replies got deleted.
Anyway, probably admins removed the cursing.
It’s the automatic slur filter.
Oh, strange that he use b* as example but the only word removed was the b*. But ok, I don’t mind.

Only instance admins can configure it (including turning it off for all their users).

Even more reason for me to try self-hosting a Lemmy instance… I really need to get around to it some time lol
