I'm on lemmy.ml but as I'm French, I was reading this comment and was surprised to see removed instead of the french word for "late".

Is there anything I can do on my end or is it a server setting and I should move to a French one?

Yeah it's server-side with .ml. You can switch to a French instance, or I imagine many English-speaking instances don't block that word. I guess you can try view that comment from different instances to check.

Read Rule 3 in the sidebar

Fuck if I know.

That's tied to the instance. The French word for slow is the same as a word commonly used as an insult in English, so the .ml devs have it baked in to their slur filter.

TIL β€œlent” is a slur

Lemme.ml: Where you can call for murder and warfare against meat eaters and landlords, but don't even think about saying a no-no word, mister!

Spoken like a true shitlib

Lemm.ee: Where you can be a fascist but still complain about other instances

Where's the inconsistency

When have you seen calls for murder?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 36 minutes ago

I don't think a lot of people are using the "guillotine landlords" imagery ironically.

Literally anytime CEOs, billionaires, or landlords come up. And not like euphemistic "eat the rich" type statements, tankie shit about literally murdering landowners (but also about how Tianemen Square was ok/just US propaganda, Russia has a right to Ukraine, and the CCP is truly progressive and respects human rights).

You say that like it's a bad thing

Socialists not being assholes to fellow marginalized people makes sense, actually.
