As I’ve been noticing it more across lemmy, what word did you type that got changed to “removed”?
The one I’ve seen is a swear but most others aren’t censored, and it seems to be an automated thing.
Edit: I suspect I figured it out so that’s at least 2 words, one a debatable slur and one an obvious swear but with no socio-political implications otherwise.
Wholly agree with your point.
Off topic: why is the B word the only swear censored on blahaj.zone? I’ve noticed it in other communities from there and most, if not all other swears are safe.
B: removed Fuck shit ass cock dick pussy cunt
Either someone got mad for being called a B or they’ve got some conflicting thoughts on what justifies swearing and censorship.
Edit: might not be just blahaj, but that only extends my confusion.

You can’t say glip-glop! That’s their word!
There’s an episode of South Park where they go to the writing offices of Family Guy for whatever reason, and instead of actual writers, they have an aquarium tank full of manatees and plastic balls with words on them.
The manatees would bring the balls to the top of the tank, few at a time, and the staff would use the words on the balls as prompts for their new jokes/episodes.
Literally nothing about what I just said was in any way a personal attack, unless you really are just a monkey dancing for peanuts.
I like how you’re trying to pull excuses from your ass more than anything.
Great dance monkey, here’s another peanut.
Lol what personal attacks? I don’t know anything about you except that you clap your cymbals and dance to a guy playing a music box, like any well trained monkey on the street does. 🙉🎶🙊🎶🙈
And yet I’m the one getting things backwards? 👀🤔
I dunno, you seem petty riled up to me, plus you already showed your lack of understanding repeatedly, so yeah certainly a win for me.
Enjoy another round of peanuts on me, monkey.
Lol @ using that mental gymnastic to pretend you won an argument. People say don’t feed the trolls but if nobody gave the monkeys peanuts they wouldn’t dance like fools for our amusement.
You’re welcome, monkey.
Then explain what OP did wrong, in a non-derogatory way, give them alternatives to what they could say instead of just demeaning them.
Know what makes people look REALLY REALLY dumb? Talking down to people that don’t know better. Besides if you’re so smart, why don’t you educate the ignorant without insulting them?
You took a good teaching opportunity and made yourself look 1,000 times dumber.
How about getting off your high horse and try helping people learn instead of insulting people to sooth your superiority complex.
The cordcutters subreddit was really nice, users constantly engaging in talks about better alternatives to cable/internet/streaming options.
The lemmy version is like an aquarium full of dead fish that nobody cares to clean out. The only ‘poster’ is a ‘news’ bot that just spams every article from cordcutters.com (most of which are just advertisements for deals/discounts).
At this point even ghost towns have more presence and/or engagement. If you block the ‘news’ bot, there’s next-to-nothing there.
I mean, would you call this post ‘content’? It’s just low-effort, non-discussion-provoking, nothingness about a platform that nobody around here cares about anymore (except you apparently?)
“one political party in particular”
CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS. Don’t sugarcoat it, CALL THEM OUT BY NAME. Otherwise they’ll just pretend it’s not them and do their damndest to act like they’ve done nothing wrong.
Even the ones who aren’t actively protesting on behalf of the conservatives are still voting for conservatives, who end up making the claims that they can never produce sufficient evidence for.
Even more depressing when you think about how, overtime is extra money that they’re losing by making you work.
At my job (pizza place, so maybe bad example), we have effectively only 2 night time managers, which means at the end of the week, whoever has the most hours goes home first, so that franchisee doesn’t have to pay the extra money.
“so why not just close early if it costs owner too much to pay you?”
Well, because. Just because, that’s all. Last time I cut orders at 5-or-10-to-close, the next day our owner (who I usually only see twice a year for MAYBE 20mins) came in and said I’d be fired if it happened again.
People with money don’t give a single fraction of a flying freaky fuck about their employees. Unfortunately for me, I work in one of the (ten poorest) states in the US that enforces ‘right-to-work’ laws, which I recently learned, don’t mean that you have the right to work, but instead means my employer is under no legal or contractual obligation to recognize, let alone pay Union fees.
Unionizing isn’t illegal, but good luck finding anybody that will do anything pro-union in one of those places.
Imagine being young enough that your parents know what browser history is 😬
Inb4 “stfu millennial” or something? 🤔
Damn, that sucks but thanks for the response. So far that brings the list to
threetwo words and no rationale or common theme save for one that is a modern slur.For reference, my list so far: 1: removed (B word for female dogs) 2: removed (R word, derogatory for people with handicaps)
3: bullshit (B-u word for literal bovine turds)Edit: my bullshit wasn’t censored. Sorry to all the pooping cows.
