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?

You're absolutely right!!

Down pitchforks!!!

It's a Lemmy.world thing. I've posted a screenshot as another user and using Feddit directly it's not censored. Here's what it looks like at Lemmy.world...

I may have been wrong but this has bene useful in figuring stuff out. I probably should have checked the code though before ranting at Feddit admins for something they weren't doing though. Thanks anyway! 🙂
