Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

I'm not hating on this by the way, in fact I think it's kinda funny!

It also says removed if you type your password

You have the same pass as me!

Your password is ******* too? What a coincidence, so is mine!

Lemmy has hard coded censorship. It can be disabled via the code, but irrc not via config. It was a large source of criticism, even 3 years ago: https://linuxreviews.org/Lemmy

[–] stu@lemmy.pit.ninja 52 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It is a server config option. Lemmy.ml uses a banned word list, while other instances don't. The words are still there and visible from instances that don't censor.

[–] hakase@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This doesn't seem to quite be true, based on my testing in the comment here.

It seems that if your comment is made on a censored instance, the word is completely replaced, and isn't visible to non-censored instances.

If this isn't accurate and you know more about how the code actually works, I'd love to know what the details are.

[–] hakase@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Are there any instances that you know of that disable the censorship? I already got my fill of cybernannies on Reddit.

Edit: My alt on sh.itjust.works can see the censored words, and it defederates with much fewer instances than lemmy.ml. Seems like migrating over there is the best choice.

Edit 2: I think I've finally figured it out based on what my sh.itjust.works account shows:

  1. If you're on a censored instance, all words will be blocked no matter what
  2. If you're on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a censored instance, that comment will still show up as removed
  3. If you're on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a non-censored instance, the comment won't be censored

When I'm on my sh.itjust.works profile, the comment by @Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network isn't censored, but mine still is. So, the censorship gets you both coming and going - no censored words can make it into a censored instance, and no censored words can make it out either.

I've just edited all of my scripts to point to my sh.itjust.works profile instead of lemmy.ml. Wish there was a way to migrate comments and posts over, but no biggie.

Has anyone made a multi-Lemmy yet? Where all of your posts and comments from all of your profiles can show up in one place?

(also, what's the formatting for double-spacing after a list?)

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Are there any instances that you know of that disable the censorship?

Considering that the list of words contains ones that a NSFW/porn instance would probably want allowed, my guess is one of those.

Lemmy has hard coded censorship

I've noticed that a few of my comments wouldn't actually post. The word for when you commit Sudoku (suicide) seems to be on the no-no list. I also wanted to comment about a weapon known by a two letter designation (AK) and that wasn't allowed either.

Edit: seems like it might be some instances only.

[–] Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I need to test this

Fuck, shit, ass, bitch. Let's see which words get removed if any

In case you want to know, your 5th word is "removed" when viewed from lemmy.ml

Cheers

[–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And only the fifth word?

I find that hilarious for some reason.

[–] CallumWells@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Yup, only the fifth word.

Pretty sure that's not it. People are saying removed as a joke. It's a filter for slurs, not swears.

I can see everyone's swears. Nothing seems to be censored for me. Is it because lemmy.world doesn't censor or is it because Voyager (third party app) doesn't censor?

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Instance level i think, sopuli.xyz

Not a Jerboa specific issue

[–] BlessedDog@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

I thought that was just formatting, as a joke?

Testing: removed

Edit: LMAO

[–] i_am_hard@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Testing: whore, bitch.

[–] elouboub@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Removed? Did you type "bitch" and it was removed?

Wait, words are censored on Lemmy.ml!? What the titting fuck?? If I want to read "naughty words", that's my right as a grown-ass twat! These bitches have now pissed me right off...

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This was your original comment on feddit.nl:

...and this is what it looks like on lemmy.ml / Jerboa:

[–] socsa@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Wait, we can't say removed? What the removed?

[–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Meanwhile on Beehaw, where the only rule is to be nice, I can say “bitch bitch bitchity bitch” all I want, as long as I'm nice about it.

Which, I guess, limits its applications to discussions about dogs.

If you run it through google translate, it's a little more... colorful that that...

Huren - one who sells sexual services.
Sohn - Son of.

So basically:

[–] klemptor@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Certain words are being censored. I really don't love it but we can all fill in the blanks.

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The great thing about the fediverse is that if some instance does something you don't like, you can just switch.

[–] klemptor@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fair point, but then I'm starting from scratch again which I'd prefer not to do. I think the censorship is dumb but I can live with it.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not how it's supposed to work. The theoretical concept (and a selling point, really) is that you can move your entire account elsewhere. In practice, it's not implemented yet for Lemmy, afaik.

[–] arthur@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

It's on the roadmap.
