Not sure if this is the right place, but I've seen this for the 3rd removed now.
Literally couldn't use the word in the title ... got a red pop-up that said "slur".
It's the 3rd word (singular) in the famous newspaper from New York ....
UPDATE: seems to be an issue with ani.social, thanks for all the feedback!
time
time
should be okay now. i put a certain domain in the slur filter rather than the domain filter. everything should be ok now
Is there a publicly available list of domains lemmy instances filter out? For transparency.
Why censor at all?
my bad g
Hey, I helped!
What's up with the NYT?
No it was telegram invite links
Oh, yeah if "t.me" was interpreted as a regex it would match "time".
Also tome, tame, TSME, anything really
Ah, so time got misread for t.me?
t-i-m-e is a slur word now because it reminds us of the shitty times today
-[time]- has been redacted. Thank you for your attention. Please carry on.

Bigot!

I wonder if someone is learning a lesson about regexes on that instance. It would be very weird to replace the string 'time' on its own.
I remember back in the early web days I was trying to make a post on a forum with something about Dick Van Dyke, getting a double-whammy name block. He already unfamiliar to the younger people even back then, so none of my attempts to explain who I was talking about worked. I couldn't even say what show he starred in for them to look up, since it was also called The Dick van Dyke Show.
Thanks so much, I knew there was some kind of term of concept for that but couldn't find it!
Tom Scott has a video on it
I always called it the buttbuttination (of Lincoln) problem, heh.
It's a clbuttic mistake.
Ageist slur
How did you know I was old??
We can all tell, but most of us are too polite to say anything.
That's crazy, i can't think of a reason why thyme are banned or is a slur. Maybe the admin made a mistake?
Yeah, has to be a mistake.
Your instance is ani.social and “ti-me” (ちめ) can mean bloodshot eyes or fatal error, and might be slang for a pejorative in Japanese or something that sounds close to an actual slur.
Still a stupid reason to censor the English word time on an English community, but that’s the best reason I can think for why it got zapped by a censor bot.
Okay that's pretty ridiculous though.
But also kind of funny. They should pick a new common word to ban every day until it's just remove remove remove.
Which is funny because there are multiple anime with “time” in their title. So I wonder how that’s going to look.
“Tis redacted for torture, princess”
Reminds me of when Minecraft Bedrock censored the word "flèche" from me, the French word for "arrow", literally an item in the game x)
elder scroll online censored the word sperm, but "whisper" was how they called the private chat, so you'd see lot of people on the global chat writing "whisper me" which was shown as "whi*** *e"
I'm confused, one instance can censor other one too?
I think it only affected ani.social users, so no. It was a local issue.
Time, Dr. Freeman?
time?
removed?
yeah ... that one.
thats so weird!!
Ok, might be my instance. Thanks for the feedback.
Wait, "Newsday" is a slur now?
