Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.

A filter? Let me test it right now...

Fuck.

Unless this is a shadowban type filter, it seems to not be there...

Fun fact: you won't get told when your stuff is removed or if you get banned. You have to check the modlogs.

This is Lemmy wide.

And looks like it's still up as of 2 hours after you posted

Edit: Spelling

Edit 2: Spleling

Interesting, I didn't even know there is a modlog.

Did it work? How about bitch? That one came up often when searching to see where I fucked up with my info.

Theirs didn't, yours did

I think it's not a swear filter, but more like a 'potentially discriminatory terms' filter.

I see. I don't mind filters that remove racist or homo/transintolerant slurs, that's keeping a community safer and inclusive rather than enforcement of politeness.

Tbh that one drives me nuts, on some sites I can't even say "Yeah I was bitching about Bad Idea's availability to my shop's owner and he said he didn't want to carry their products because the guys running it are cunts." (Curious to see what happens to this comment lmao)

Like dude, I'm the one I said was bitching about the thing, don't fucking censor my colloquialisms, I wasn't even trying to insult me!

Let's test that one...

removed.

Edit::What do you know, it was actually filtered.
