Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Now I need to know what it is. My first thought would be Spotted Dick, but then Dick is a name. Maybe Pork removeds? That one I can understand being removed.

I think I know what it is. You can buy them in the supermarket. It’s slang for a gay man, rhymes with maggot.

Ah yes, I understand why they remove it as I don't think it's often used in its other contexts. I do prefer to use it to describe a bundle of sticks

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Ah so similiar to the german translation of the instrument bassoon?

And Norwegian. It's hard to converse with countrymen on a platform running word filters for another language.

Not just playing the instrument "removed", but discussing school classes with friends and family as we would say "hvilke fag tar du i år?" to ask which classes you take this year. Luckily Lemmyworld isn't that aggressive, but many online chat services and emails clients have started screaming at "fag".

Encountering such filters on a school computer that blocked my emails was particularly frustrating.

Someone has a word that shares the f-slur for a benign food product? Holy shit that's unfortunate.

My dad used to talk about them. He'd call it faggots and peas.

Why the fuck is this showing up as "Pork removeds" for me?

I feel like that guy on Reddit who accidentally set his device's language to Spanish and asked for help in Reddit, and everyone pranked him by writing their comments in Spanish
