Even worse than that is acceptance of “freaking” in place of “fucking”. The words are internalized inside the brain to have the same exact meaning in this context, it’s just they take offense to certain arrangements of consonants andd vowel combinations to deliver the same message. It’s like they think their god is stupid enough to fall for a semantical trick.
I was using lemmy.ml because the other instances I was using was constantly down but if there’s a global swear filter like that I’ll have to start using another instance. This is ridiculous. Even reddit didn’t do that.
I saw it mentioned in another user’s comment a few days ago and went over to check it out. The only place I’ve seen the filter so far is lemmy.ml, hopefully it doesn’t catch on. Just rubs me the wrong way when you have people modifying the way posts/comments are displayed to fit their delicate sensibilities. At least give the user a checkbox or something to turn it on or off.
Different story if we’re talking about categories of material that are illegal in most if not all jurisdictions but that brings up questions about whose laws to follow (beyond those of the server owner and possibly the primary user base). If you end up applying the most restrictive laws from each country where the service is available, there’s not much content that makes it through the filters unscathed and you’re left with a boring website.
That’s all beyond the point for what we’re talking about though, it’s just been on my mind now and then since I learned about the filter. Admins can do what they want with their services but users don’t have to stay.
This is one of my favorite fallacies to call them out on…it wasn’t god who made man in his image…man made god in man’s image…and therefore their god suffers from all the same flaws that man suffers from, which are vast.

To be fair, both Christians and their God are fucking pants on head retarded
Pants on head removed? I’m not sure what removed means here?
Sorry autocorrect got me
Meant to say pants on head retarded
Either auto correct failed you again or there’s a profanity filter on lemmy that I wasn’t aware of
Are there per-instance filters? I’m seeing what was intended.
Yeah, lemmy.ml admins are removed.
