If this was reddit i'd be concerned but there isnt any censorship here i know of
@Solaris1789 Didn't the #Lemmy software literally use to have a hardcoded blocklist of words it wouldn't let you use?
By words you mean slurs?
@raresbears Yeah, although there were some other words that were banned as well IIRC
There were words like "sl**" that where normal words in Danish or something like that, which caused issues with multi language stuff, that's why it was removed.
@gary_host_laptop In any case, I'm not salty about it, because it's now configurable (which it always should have been IMHO), just using it as an example to point out the bias and pro-censorship leanings of those running the #Lemmy software project, who I believe are also running lemmy.ml unless something changed recently
"Bias" is such a negatively loaded word. Use Anti-Nazi-bias instead.
@m532 lollll 😂😂😂
No.
