Nobody can read it, check the source of your comment. The word gets immediately replaced when you post. I'd like to know what words are forbidden, is there a list somewhere?

Just to test how the filter behaves: Bi.tch.

I can read every swear in this thread except the root post.

Nobody can read it, check the source of your comment.

Correction: No one browsing through your specific server can read it. The rest of us see it just fine.

From where I'm sitting, it seems like the filter is applied (a) when a lemmy.ml user makes a post (it strips it from the source and says removed for everyone) and (b) when lemmy.ml federates another instance's comment over (source instance and any other non-censored federated instance has the word intact, ONLY you guys don't see it).

Come see!

The filter is a text matching regex, and not terribly verbose. Very easy to circumvent

Test of the instance slur filter, please ignore:

bitchy, retard, cock

Just move on to a better instance that isn't run by tankies. Problem solved.
