Greedy regex always makes me uneasy. Yeah, it's super unlikely that that combination would appear otherwise, but it could if a couple of people were talking about the topic.

It was even more aggressive before we just removed on dbzer0 lol. It's too much work but hopefully the new lemmy update can help.
Regex probably isn't the best use case here, as the spammer can pretty easily change the format. They're already trying to do so with random spaces and stuff.
A better option would be to have the option to disable DMs from instances that do not require email/sign on approval requirements. Not sure if that's already a feature, but I can't imagine it would be a fun one to implement.
Not possible for lemmy, and it would be hacky to implement for us (db0 doesn't really like the SQL version) so we're sticking to the slur filter for now unfortunately. I've adapted it, and it's very extreme; but should work for all types of cases for nicole.
Yeash. Fair enough I suppose.
Are you trying to keep me and my girlfriend apart?
Fuck you, she's mine. In fact, i snuck in to these solutions an exception for my account. So i can keep her DMs all to myself!
Oh man I’ve slid into her DMs and another rather uncomfortable place.
You're both gonna be cucks soon. That proud girl is mine.
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
The reason the errors exist is to mask the TRVTH of db0...
My hostile takeover of all lemmy instances is inevitable; feddit.org is next >:)
Is your German good enough?
ja ich bin speakerung deutsch mein mann
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
Exactly!
If that's a freedom of speech violation, then so is your email provider's spam filter.
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.
