Lemmy.ml has a whole bunch of swear filters.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (3 children)

This is a . world community though...unless .ml is somehow able to filter their user's posts??

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 41 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I think its the .ml doing the changing as all the traffic of .ml users go through its servers

[–] oce@jlai.lu 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Tanking is ok, but swearing goes too far.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Oppression has to start somewhere.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Correct, the user is on .ml (if others hadn't noticed) so his comments are hosted on that server.

[–] kevindqc@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Are they? So if I read a post where users from hundreds of different servers are commenting, my phone has to make hundreds of requests to all those servers? Doesn't seem right

[–] AlpacaChariot@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Your phone queries your home instance, your instance fetches comments from the other servers.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes that's exactly what ml is doing. They have a slur filter.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

bitch: A female canine animal, especially a dog.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Cool... my instance isn't run by an idiot.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

dot ml is the only mainstream on to implement it afaik.

There was a time (before the api exodus) where the devs were planning on making the filter compulsory for all instances, you can guess how that went.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

That seems ridiculous.

I mean I can understand that some communities might be legit triggered by certain words, but just implement the filter between that instance and the users of that instance.

Imposing it on all instances would be insane. If you don't like the words that other instance are showing then don't use that instance. That's the strength of the fediverse concept to me, policies tailored to the community that's on an instance.

[–] FiniteBanjo 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Check the user's extension. He's on ML posting to a discussion on WORLD. It makes perfect sense because unless the instance admins specifically block an instance then any instance's users can post to any other instance community. That's what Federation means. We're all on individual instances that create a larger connected whole. That's why the instance the user picks decides what they can post and where to.

Sorry to be that guy, but for clarity I believe at least for Lemmy that describes a blacklist configuration. Other option is similar where no instances are federated unless explicitly added to a white list like hexbear (?)

[–] FiniteBanjo 2 points 6 months ago

That is plausible but defeats the entire point of Federation in the first place. It makes sense for Hexbear to control the narrative their viewers see, though.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Never heard of this but in any case, I'll test it. Bitch.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 26 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (3 children)

You're on Lemmy.world so you'll see it.

But Lemmy.ml users see this

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] can@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's because they have a very broad definition of a slur with no regard for context. I don't understand how people put up with it either since it makes other comment unclear. I would have assumed a way worse word was being censored above for example

[–] butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I had a comment removed for using a racial slur because I called them tankies lol. Poor little snowflakes. Fwiw I'm literally a socialist, I just don't support authoritarianism and genocide and blatant human rights abuses.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Literally no actual socialist does.

Red fascists tho

[–] butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Apparently .ml people are red/ brown colorblind. Didn't even know that was a type of colorblindness.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if the filter applies to usernames.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

That's an interesting question actually. I wonder.

[–] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Haha get removed lemmy.ml removedes go removed on a bag of removed you removed half-removed removed

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 months ago

Wow. As if the .ml instance wasn't already a joke!
