Interesting. I could guess that "removed" might be ableist or sexist, but the fact that you were able to pick correctly and confidently suggests it's not censored for you. Is this specific to my client or instance? Tbh seeing "removed" (in italics) everywhere is one of the things that has annoyed me about using lemmy, and I'd turn it off if I knew how. Not that I'm in favor of slurs, I'd just like to be able to see what people are actually saying and judge them myself.

The slur filter is a per-instance setting.
It is instance-wide, set by admins.

I think it is a lemmy.ml setting, as I see the same, even when using a browser.

After a bit of googling I was able to confirm that it is indeed instance-based.

I use Boost for lemmy but I'm unsure if it's your instance or not.

Thanks. I use jerboa, and I see that we're on different instances too. I'll look into it :)

Edit: it's the instance. Tbh I probably could have figured this out a long time ago just didn't even know to look into it until I saw someone that seemed to be able to see uncensored words.
