Why does Biden just say “yeah he’s my removed boy”? It would completely undermine the image Trump and the Republicans build of themselves.
- What's a "removed boy?"
  
  I typed b I t c h and something changed it
  
  Lemmy.ml has a whole bunch of swear filters.
  
  This is a . world community though...unless .ml is somehow able to filter their user's posts??
  
  I think its the .ml doing the changing as all the traffic of .ml users go through its servers
  
  Tanking is ok, but swearing goes too far.
  
  Oppression has to start somewhere.
  
  Correct, the user is on .ml (if others hadn't noticed) so his comments are hosted on that server.
  
  Are they? So if I read a post where users from hundreds of different servers are commenting, my phone has to make hundreds of requests to all those servers? Doesn't seem right
  
  Your phone queries your home instance, your instance fetches comments from the other servers.
  
  Yes that's exactly what ml is doing. They have a slur filter.
  
  bitch: A female canine animal, especially a dog.
  
  Cool... my instance isn't run by an idiot.
  
  dot ml is the only mainstream on to implement it afaik.
  There was a time (before the api exodus) where the devs were planning on making the filter compulsory for all instances, you can guess how that went.
  
  That seems ridiculous.
  I mean I can understand that some communities might be legit triggered by certain words, but just implement the filter between that instance and the users of that instance.
  Imposing it on all instances would be insane. If you don't like the words that other instance are showing then don't use that instance. That's the strength of the fediverse concept to me, policies tailored to the community that's on an instance.
  
  Check the user's extension. He's on ML posting to a discussion on WORLD. It makes perfect sense because unless the instance admins specifically block an instance then any instance's users can post to any other instance community. That's what Federation means. We're all on individual instances that create a larger connected whole. That's why the instance the user picks decides what they can post and where to.

  Sorry to be that guy, but for clarity I believe at least for Lemmy that describes a blacklist configuration. Other option is similar where no instances are federated unless explicitly added to a white list like hexbear (?)
  
  That is plausible but defeats the entire point of Federation in the first place. It makes sense for Hexbear to control the narrative their viewers see, though.
  
  Never heard of this but in any case, I'll test it. Bitch.
  
  You're on Lemmy.world so you'll see it.
  But Lemmy.ml users see this
  
  Boggles the mind
  
  It's because they have a very broad definition of a slur with no regard for context. I don't understand how people put up with it either since it makes other comment unclear. I would have assumed a way worse word was being censored above for example
  
  I had a comment removed for using a racial slur because I called them tankies lol. Poor little snowflakes. Fwiw I'm literally a socialist, I just don't support authoritarianism and genocide and blatant human rights abuses.
  
  Literally no actual socialist does.
  Red fascists tho
  
  Apparently .ml people are red/ brown colorblind. Didn't even know that was a type of colorblindness.
  
  I wonder if the filter applies to usernames.
  
  That's an interesting question actually. I wonder.
  
  Haha get removed lemmy.ml removedes go removed on a bag of removed you removed half-removed removed
  
  Wow. As if the .ml instance wasn't already a joke!
  
  You said, "bitch," though?
  
  Man, I looked this woman in her optic stems, and I said...
  
  Biiiiiiiiiitttttccchhhhhh
  
  I looked this woman into the windows of her soul, and I says......
  
  Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttcccchhhh.....
  
  How have I not seen that sketch in a good 10 years but can still hear them say it in my heads?
  
  It's a classic. Sort of like.. my potion is too strong for you traveler.
  
  I get and appreciate this reference 😂
  
  You're on one of the most authoritarian instance out there, it's run by the people who run Hexbear. It's a place for people who want NATO to dissolve, China to conquer Asia, and Russia to take over Europe.
  
  Pretty sure Hexbear lets people say bitch.
  
  It's still the same people.
  
  I thought it was the same people who run Lemmygrad, not Hexbear?
  
  TBH I have no idea about who runs Lemmygrad, I rarely see them in the feed.
  
  What a dickheaded bitch move
  
  That's not possible. Weird way to troll.
  Edit: apparently possible. Not sure why users put up with being treated like kindergartners
  Edit 2: people downvote some weird shit to downvote
  
  IIRC Lemmy.ml had built in censorship.
  
  Weird I'm just now seeing that. Also very very sad. I would never use a platform that censors words automatically, especially not the word "bitch".. wtf
  
  Well it's only for users from lemmy.ml, so as you're one lemmy.world you don't see it as often.
  
  Right but I read comments from those users pretty regularly
  
  Their users are either fine with it, and don't use those words, or get annoyed and sign up somewhere else. So you probably won't see it much.
  
  I think it’s a safe space thing for them.
  
  The clownery of the .ml instance
  
  He's my little removed boy, Jack. After a long day, pop pop needs to take a load off, you know? So I sit right on his face and read the papers, Jack. He loves it! We keep that little removed all tied up and my aides bring him over when I need a sit-down. He begs pop pop to sit on his face and use him as a little removed chair.
  
  Unfortunately can’t unread this
  
  You're kidding with this "removed" shit, right? This would be funny without it
  
  Lemmy.ml has a list of words they censor and this person is on lemmy.ml
  
  Thanks. The first three times I was told wasn't enough
  
  Don't ask three times then.
  
  Thritches
  
  Britches
  
  I mean, I didn't, and when they asked that they were replying right alongside a single response which was someone already answering.
  
  You’ve asked and complained about it ten different times in this thread.
  
  As if this isn't a complaint
  
  You're welcome
  
  I think there’s a swear filter on some instances which is pretty weak imo - so probably not the user who intentionally typed it out that way
  
  The fuck is a "removed" removed?
  
  Lemmy.ml censors anything that could be a slur regardless of context.
  
  What a bunch of pussy bitches. Imagine being scared of words
  They must be sweating like a dyslexic on Countdown
  
  If you want the kind of community that "isn't scared of words" there are plenty of free speech platforms out there that sound just like a COD lobby.
  Unless you want to admit there are, in fact, quite a few words and behaviors you don't want to be allowed, and you (and most people) just disagree on where the line is.
  It is weird that .ml drew such a strict line though. It makes me wonder if they thought China might allow the Fediverse if they didn't have naughty words flying around?
  
  I was just trying to trigger the algorithm
  Free speech is for racists and cunts tbh
