Not many people admit to being offended by something that someone said. When was a time you actually felt hurt and/or insulted by someone? (lemm.ee)

In real life or....? I'm insulted pretty much daily on here by some dipshit or another. In reality? Less. But as a queer person living in an area full of conservatives I overhear "faggot" said a lot. Generally not at me, but it's still offensive and it makes me uncomfortable being around people who yell it at random people on the street as they drive by.

I'm out of the loop. What does "removed" mean?

[-] Lileath@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 months ago

You ran into a slur filter. The word that gets shown as removed is the one used for bundles of sticks and sometimes can refer to cigarettes in the UK.

Oh, thanks. I was super confused

So was I because I don't see it that way on my instance. It was the F word. Not fuck.

is this a local filter that can be disabled? I'd rather get the full context of a comment than be protected from seeing hate speech
