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?

Well that’s fuckin slow

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago

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.

what fucking profanity filter? damned if I've ever seen it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 39 minutes ago

It's a misnomer. It's actually a slur filter

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

Fuck if I know.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

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!

Edit: funny how all the negative comments flood in at once, almost like folks clocked in for work.

Spoken like a true shitlib

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago

Where's the inconsistency

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

You say that like it's a bad thing

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

When have you seen calls for murder?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

are executions murder, though?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 59 minutes ago

I mean, yes? Although generally speaking, the word execution is reserved for cases where they've been deemed to deserve it.

For example, most of the executions ordered during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution were simply murders of people who were even suspected of dissent.
