IGNORE: This is happening at lemmy.world, not here. See my screenshots showing the censorship which happens at lemmy.world end.

This is all very exciting to figure out.

Original post...

I'm going to post a bug report to Lemmy but it seems my comment body that contains about 6 instances of the f-word gets blocked from posting at all.

Post body I intended is below. Posts with the f-word in get blocked entirely.

Comments get the word censored. The filtering is fucking idiotic and over-zealous.

TLDR: WHY IS A UK SERVER BLOCKING MENTION OF A UK FOODSTUFF?

Fag-g-ot gets censored by Lemmy by default. E.g. removed. It's literally built into the fucking source code of Lemmy

Why are we allowing brain-dead AMERICAN culture-war bullshit to block us from discussing British suet pudding?

You know what's offensive to me as a gay Brit? The over-sanitisation and kid-proofing the internet has gone through since the late 90s/early 00s. It's pathetic.

Mr Brains Pork removeds are lovely though the name has always made me think of brains and as a kid I often assumed removeds were made of brains.

Is this a British server or is it a fucking American site?

Apparently large areas of the country don't even eat removeds and that's why many Brits don't talk about them - but they're fucking removed-less idiots. Cos many parts of the UK (esp. working class folk) do eat removeds.

So admins/mods/assorted dickheads: Remove that brain-rot word from the "slur filter" please? It's not a slur! It's a food! I'm sick to the back fucking teeth of the Americanisation of our online spaces.

Free the removed!

Here's what it looks like on Lemmy.world. See the "E.g. censored" ?

Yeah it's censored on lemmy.world. I couldn't understand why no one understood me but it turns out it's happening at .world but not here. This is what I was seeing:
