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?

Unless I'm misunderstanding, I think the point is that because the account you're using to access this is a lemmy.world one, it is the lemmy.world filter list that is being applied to what you see, not the feddit.uk one.

If I type "Mr Brain's Faggots" it will still be visible to me and to other feddit.uk users, but by the time that message ends up on your lemmy.world server it'll have been filtered out.
