Why is the "that word" being censored across lemmy? (europe.pub)

Not sure if this is the right place, but I've seen this for the 3rd removed now.

Literally couldn't use the word in the title ... got a red pop-up that said "slur".

It's the 3rd word (singular) in the famous newspaper from New York ....

UPDATE: seems to be an issue with ani.social, thanks for all the feedback!

should be okay now. i put a certain domain in the slur filter rather than the domain filter. everything should be ok now

Why censor at all?

[–] hitagi@ani.social 8 points 3 weeks ago

my bad g

Some of us dont want slop, censoring slop is good actually, if you want slop there are plenty of other instances.

H*ly fk, does this sht really do something positive for you?

I guess you must have no idea what I said cause I censored it though. Ah well, too bad!

Is there a publicly available list of domains lemmy instances filter out? For transparency.

[–] leraje@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Here's the list that your instance (lemmy.world) blocks.

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Those are only blocked instances not any domains blocked.

[–] leraje@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't know enough about how lemmy (or any fedi software come to that) differentiates between the two or even that it did to be honest - isn't an instance tied to a domain?

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Instances are other Fediverse software sites like Lemmy, PieFed, Mastodon, etc. The block list stops their content from appearing in your instances feed.

There are a separate list of blocks for any URL, so for example an instance could block anyone posting links to BBC.com.

First paragraph I knew :)

Second paragraph was news to me - thank you!

What's up with the NYT?

[–] hitagi@ani.social 23 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

No it was telegram invite links

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 23 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, yeah if "t.me" was interpreted as a regex it would match "time".

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago

Also tome, tame, TSME, anything really

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ah, so time got misread for t.me?
