It recently came to my attention that .world may be using the censor function of the Lemmy software.

Is this a recent development? Regardless, I feel that it’s counterproductive and unhelpful.

Censor function? What’s that?

  Autocensoring words and replacing them with “removed”

    Ah yes, the slur filter. That’s been there since the start.

I’m somewhat confused, another user said he could read the comment just fine? Exactly at which point in the transmission is it getting censored?

  .world-based users will see it as censored.

    Ah, just figured out my confusion was because tesseract was showing me the .world version of the post instead of my own. Got it!
