As I've been noticing it more across lemmy, what word did you type that got changed to "removed"?

The one I've seen is a swear but most others aren't censored, and it seems to be an automated thing.

Edit: I suspect I figured it out so that's at least 2 words, one a debatable slur and one an obvious swear but with no socio-political implications otherwise.

lemmy.ml has some absolutely draconian censorship. The word that was censored was probably b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t. (hopefullly it doesnt catch that). It's also quickly going full blown tankie.

If you want an instance that doesn't censor stuff like a club penguin chat and isn't run by people who regard Joseph Stalin as their personal hero then a good one to try is sh.itjust.works. I only use lemmy.world because it's the only one I could sign up for when I did. If I signed up now then I would probably go for sh.itjust.works or lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Damn, that sucks but thanks for the response. So far that brings the list to ~~three~~ two words and no rationale or common theme save for one that is a modern slur.

For reference, my list so far: 1: removed (B word for female dogs) 2: removed (R word, derogatory for people with handicaps) ~~3: bullshit (B-u word for literal bovine turds)~~

Edit: my bullshit wasn't censored. Sorry to all the pooping cows.
