Not the whole comment, but the word would get removed. It also applies to any comments posted to communities hosted on the server.
So much for free speech, eh.

I hate to say this, but you’re exactly the reason why Youtube and other services feel safe and comfortable enshittifying their services.

- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 4 months ago:
This isn’t lemmy, this is a specific community. And your argument brings us back to the whole issue between mods and community members.
Being a dick to someone trying to make the place better Members of a community do have a stake in the community, and in this case, are trying to keep the place from getting worse. It’s an open question who the dick is in the discussion, especially since it was an open call for feedback that then subsequently ignored every comment that disagreed with the idea. It very much came across as a call for ‘positive feedback only’.
- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 4 months ago:
‘Feedback’ does not mean ‘fix my idea for me’. Just because something isn’t your area of expertise doesn’t mean you can’t point out when there are flaws in something. It’s like getting served a dish that tastes horrible, then the restaurant says you can’t complain because you’re not offering a solution.

We should want analysis to be from the perspective of a typical fast food eating, reality tv watching, not-super-engaged American
Why? Lemmy is a worldwide site.

In typical usage, removed is a pejorative term either for someone with an actual mental disability, or for someone who is considered stupid, slow to understand, or ineffective in some way. The adjective removed is used in the same way, for something very foolish or stupid.

People on other instances would still be able to see the swear word.
No, I see effects of the censorship all the time. If the community is on .ml, all the comments go through their server and are subjected to editing, AFAIK.
If it were .ml’s censorship, it would say “removed”.
Yeah, was wondering if this was censorship v2 😂

Right. I see there’s no logical discussion to be had here. Have a good day.
- Comment on Court ordered penalties for 15 teens who created naked AI images of classmates 5 months ago:
My question was very simple and limited in scope:
Would the impact have been any different if they had used photoshop?
I did not make any sweeping comments, and I would appreciate if you stopped trying to claim things on my behalf.
- Comment on Court ordered penalties for 15 teens who created naked AI images of classmates 5 months ago:
Fuck knows. It’s not like I made any such claim, you just decided to put up a strawman argument.
- Comment on Court ordered penalties for 15 teens who created naked AI images of classmates 5 months ago:
Since when could someone do this … with a couple of clicks and zero training, for free and on any device?
You know, somebody probably said the exact same thing about Photoshop when it first came out? Back when cutting up photos and pasting them together was a thing. Then again, somebody probably said the same thing about the advent of photography too, during the days of woodcuts and oil paintings.

- Comment on Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now 5 months ago:
The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.
The problem does not lie with gamers. It lies with ‘AAA’ developers who publish unplayable cashgrabs that need years of bugfixing before reaching a playable state, thus leading to expectations of ongoing development. Not that Early Access has helped in that regard.
