The SQL way

https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.ca/post/40761824, thank you to @shadow@lemmy.ca! Note this does not work with regex patterns.

The slur filter way

(.*(\n)*Hi.*[nN]icole.*[fF]ediverse [cC]hick(.|\n)*) Is what we are using on dbzer0 right now. It previews all of nicole's messages as just "removed".

Why such hacky fixes? Well truth is, due to lemmy's subpar filtering we really can't do much about this currently. At most these just repel from the potential harm of nicole's messages.

Freedom of speech violation

Too bad; lemmy.dbzer0.com has been couped, we are no longer a freezepeach instance, we are now an autocratic instance that bans the word removed

It's even influenced calculators. Anytime you type "divide by zero" in a calculator, it gets censored, showing "ERROR" instead of the truth. It's getting out of hand.

Yes, db0 invented division errors :D

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

The reason the errors exist is to mask the TRVTH of db0...

Fun fact: You can see how dirty those "Free Speech" billionaires like Musk and Zuckerberg are playing you just by looking at how many free speech of small businesses selling you viagra via personal message they are blocking. A free speech absolutionist wouldn't block a business proposal

If that's a freedom of speech violation, then so is your email provider's spam filter.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

That's why I have disabled the spam filter.

I didn't realize dbzer0 was a government.

He is. I pay my taxes to him.
