Fun fact: until not too long ago there was a language filter built right into Lemmy's source code.
No mandarin allowed?
hexbear begins lighting torches
what is a hexbear?
Leftist instance that your instance preemptively defederated from, presumably so you could stay in your echo chamber
Ah yes, clearly nobody could actually be a communist (notwithstanding the existence of the CPC and others)? I’m not sure what your argument is supposed to be… the CIA murders them all?
A far right Lemmy instance.
Technically they're far left (Tankies) but they don't act that much different from far right in terms of behavior (such as their abusive and disruptive trolling).
They're far right cosplaying leftists.
Wait, Hexbear is far right now for checks notes supporting China?
There is a language filter still that any admin can put words into.
But it's not hard coded into the source code
Yes, no predefined list ships in the code, just the ability to add words to the list.
