Who told you my password?
No one. I’m the famous hacker 4chan.
Wdym? All I see is hunter2
I can from discuss.tchncs.de, lemmy.world, but from lemmy.ml bitch is censored.
I can see them all. On lemmy.world and Thunder on iOS.
The one after fuck is removed.
They don’t want you to talk about female dogs.
Huh 🤔
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.
Meh 😑
What an odd choice for which word to censor.
It's the one in the list that's derogatory towards a specific group (women, in this case)
Wtf? I'm using Jerboa on Android and can't see anything removed.
You’re not registered with lemmy.ml on your account. It’s not the client.
I understand now so thanks for telling me!
I see 4, none appear as removed.
Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits.
It's either the instance sending the comment, or your instance. Let's check: fuck shit crap bitch
Edit: looks like lemmy.ml censored bitch.
If you don't want this, just get an account on another instance. There are some tools to help copy over your list of subscriptions.
Seems lemmy.ml censors slurs specifically then, since “bitch” is considered a gendered slur.
A right cunty thing for them to do, mate
Interestingly, I can see this. Maybe they require a whole world match to avoid the Scunthorpe problem. (Test: cunt cunty )
As a FMHY user I do not have such weakness
Here in kbin.social I can see it without problem.
Maybe op has activated the filter in settings?
I don't think there is a swear filter in settings, it looks to be a per instance option (looking a the source code it is).
shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits
And tits shouldn't even be on the list.
Mmmm tater-tits
I think this might be a decision made by lemmy.ml. Previous versions of Lemmy had a word filter list that was force-enabled, so I assume the "main instance" ran by the developers would have it enabled.
I can see all of the swearies in Bob's comment here from pawb.social , but not when looking at it on lemmy.ml.
Wow that is an absolute dealbreaker for this instance. Blanket censorship is just a big no no. So long and thanks for all the fish, off to find a new instance to call home!
Somewhere that isn't a little bitch, yeah.
Well you really don't want to be on lemmy.ml if you don't like censorship, because they have removed criticisms against the CCP and that fucking bitch Xi.
I don't recall any particular criticism of the Community College of Philadelphia at lemmy.ml being memory holed. Can you point me to some example? What do people have against that august institution anyway?
I'm pretty sure this is tongue-in-cheek, but just to be clear, I'm referring to the genocide-committing Chinese Communist Party.
Oh, you mean the Communist Party of China. Which would be CPC.
Generally when you can't even get the name of an entity right (and that is its actual English name!) it kind of undermines your credibility when you start talking about what it does or does not do.
You're wrong, [that is considered acceptable/ common English reference.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Communist_Party#:~:text=The%20Chinese%20Communist%20Party%20(CCP,Civil%20War%20against%20the%20Kuomintang.
And even if that was wrong, which it is not, how would a mispronounciation undermine the history of genocide? You're clearly just deflecting from the unfortunate truth about the atrocities committed by the Chinese government.
Are you going to deny the Tiananmen Square Massacre next? Give me a break...

I don't agree with lemmy.ml's simpleminded word policing system at all (not least of which because it suffers from a variant of the Cunthorpe Problem), but I really do find terribly amusing the people who are OUTRAGED at their inability to use slurs and choose that as the reason to switch instances. I find it very telling.

That was what made me move, too.
Instance admins can setup a slur filter for their instance, which automatically removes that word from ever appearing on that particular instance.
No f***ing way
D***it they got me too
D*nmark
One thing I found out is if you type your lemmy password it censors that too, see: ********************* isn't that a great feature you should try it
Hunter2
Doesn't look like stars to me.
Wow great feature!
it only works if its your credit card number and password
Nah it doesn't blank out your credit card number unless it's followed by cvv number and expiration date - I think it even encrypts it if you enter a 5 digit billing zip code
Fr*nce
Fuck dammit
Fuck no
