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?

I think this might be a decision made by lemmy.ml. Previous versions of Lemmy had a word filter list that was force-enabled, so I assume the “main instance” ran by the developers would have it enabled.
I can see all of the swearies in Bob’s comment here from pawb.social , but not when looking at it on lemmy.ml.
Wow that is an absolute dealbreaker for this instance. Blanket censorship is just a big no no. So long and thanks for all the fish, off to find a new instance to call home!
Just discovered this also. I’m out. What a disappointment.
No f***ing way
D***it they got me too
D*nmark
One thing I found out is if you type your lemmy password it censors that too, see: ********************* isn’t that a great feature you should try it
it only works if its your credit card number and password
