I'll be scrolling through lemmy world and occasionally I'll see comments where a word in them has been replaced with removed. Usually from context it's early a swear word, normal stuff not slurs.

Is this a lemmy.world censorship thing? A lemmy wide thing? I doubt it has anything to do with my app, unless Jerboa is censoring specific words.

Anyone else experiencing this?

They don’t want you to talk about female dogs.

Huh 🤔

[–] Fantomas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A female dog is called a bitch. That's where the profanity comes from, you say that someone is like a female dog and lemmy.ml get real upset.

What an odd choice for which word to censor.

[–] DaedalistKraken@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago

It's the one in the list that's derogatory towards a specific group (women, in this case)

[–] Nuuskis9@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wtf? I'm using Jerboa on Android and can't see anything removed.

[–] anon_water@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You’re not registered with lemmy.ml on your account. It’s not the client.

I understand now so thanks for telling me!

[–] ulu_mulu@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
