The comments are pretty interesting when you read them on lemmy.ml
That instance has server wide word filtering enabled that can’t be removed.

What’s hilarious about that place is you can type removed and they can’t tell the difference between that and a slur being blanked out by the system.

Mass censorship is very cool and definitely not a stepping stone to an authoritarian hellscape.

The idea that moderating slurs on an online forum is a stepping stone to an authoritarian hellscape really requires a special kind of brain worms

I got an instance ban from ML for two weeks because they treat “tankie” like some sort of slur.

The biggest bunch of snowflakes there ever was. They don’t like it when you actively describe them.

Perhaps it’s a sexual thing. You know like if you are hit a lot as a child.
Perhaps Tankies learn to enjoy censorship and repression. That’s the only justification I can think of for censoring themselves, it’s pretty hilarious when you think about it.

I’m actually OK with it.
It’s their instance, you can check the wordlist in the config. It’s the
slur_filter_regex
. If it would bother me too much I’d change instance or spin up my own.I’m more enraged by shadow banning like on “other platforms”.

ml hands out bans people who slightly disagree with their Communist loving opinions, how is that not censorship like on “other” platforms?
bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
Lol it’s too much credit to call them communist loving. Marx would be turning in his grave if he saw the regimes these tankies venerate

Man, regex is really not the tool for the job here is it?

Depends on what is being censored. Hate speech? Censor the shit out of it. Sexual stuff? Not needed.
intensely_human@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Nope. Completely missed the point.
What is unspoken there is that censorship is always based on good intentions such as yours. People trying to censor sex are trying to do the same thing you’re trying to do with censoring hate speech.
“Only censoring the bad stuff” is not the solution here. It’s the source of the problem.

Automated censorship is never a good thing.
