interesting, seems like it only blocks the correct spelling more tests:

crap

cr@p

shit

sh!t

No need to test the filter like that, the full list of banned words can be found in the code. This filter actually did some damage to Lemmy's reputation in 2020 as Lemmy was originally a closed community with strict moderation and little understanding of federation. The admins wanted a quick way to make lemmy.ml look unappealing to chaotic right-wing users. The filter is only present on this instance now, it's no longer hard-coded into all instances.

But that's no fun

EDIT: also my mind doesn't come with a regex parser

literal swear words aren't banned but wh0re is?

[–] nachtigall@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Swear words that are mainly used as interjections (shit, crap) aren't that bad IMO. Slurs like wh*re are usually targeted someone.

I've also noticed that the appropriate term for a female canine is blocked. Dog is the term for a male canine.

What's wrong with some fucking swear words?

Goddammit, I'm telling you, watch your fucking mouth! Swear-fucking-words are un-fucking-becoming of a Lemmy user!
