Lemmy.world censors only “faggot” and the N word. Lemmy.ml censors “bitch” and various slurs. I believe their users can still see comments with these words in, though they cannot post them themselves
Well the first one has basically one meaning that’s derogatory (including the definition of a bundle of sticks used for kindling; that’s literally why it became a slur as it implies you want to burn them) while the three letter word is also slang for a cigarette in much of the world.
The 6-letter version means a bundle of sticks, or a stick, which is how it came to mean cigarette. The 3-letter version is an abbreviation of the 6-letter version. Both of them mean cigarette, and both of them are an anti-gay slur.
Lemmy instances are able to censor words; it can’t be set per community. When viewing a comment from an instance that censors some word, that word will be replaced with “removed”. This applies to both comments sent by users of that instance, and comments sent by external users.

So they censor removed and not fag. That makes zero sense lol.
Hmm

removed and fag are used interchangeably in much of the world. Both have other means, both are derogatory and both mean gay.
Makes no sense to censor one and not the other.
What was “removed”?
Aha, so it seems that other instances do censor the words for their own users. It was “fag-got”.
I just assumed it also censored the shorter form, since I ran into that before when quoting Martin from The Simpsons. I was wrong.
Am I missing something? I have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about.
Is there a slur somewhere in this post or the comment section? And TIL that Lemmy communities can censor words. I’m from blahaj.zone btw

Blahaj doesn’t censor any slurs
Only federates up-votes and doesn’t censor slurs, I find that funnier than I should
That feels like a weird sentence
feddit.uk doesn’t censor anything at the moment, because I accidentally broke the slur regex.
Normally, users from censored instances can still see rude words, they just get removed “in flight” if they try to post anywhere.
