When sites no longer allow you to speak out against political figures, companies, or conflicts then its time to leave. They are no longer moderating a subreddit. They are moderation information as a whole. They get to pick n choose what you’re allowed to rally around and rally against. Sites like lemmy are the next step to a free and fair internet.
Corporate has stolen our internet and our money. Its time to take it back. Federated and open source is the way we do it. Dont let the money tell us what we are allowed to talk about.

‘Holiday’ is forbidden?
Probably upset about “Happy Holidays” or something.
Do they prefer vacation as the only people who uses anti work are American.
Did I get this right? Redditors are not allowed to write “nword”, but they are allowed using the actual N-word?
Fcking hypocrites!
That sounds like Xitter. Fortunately, Reddit hasn’t devolved that far… yet.
damn… “Luigi’s Mansion” has a totally different ring nowadays…
I made a slight tweak to OP’s image, in case people want to share the picture on other networks. :)
Pretty sure if you try and spell out the letters n, i, g, g,… and submit your comment or reply, it’s hardcoded on all platforms to remove the word. I’ve tried tellijg a story on the sync app for lemmy that involved a word that rhymes with maggot being said and even in quotes it only printed on the screen “removed” iirc. (context here implying it was the word someone said and not being used in the context of the comment)
Pretty sure the list were looking at is subreddit specific list of banned words that will trigger a bot to remove the comment/delete the comment but still show a comment was made.
I think the Lemmy devs included automatic removal of some words on the platform, but it can be disabled by instance admins. It caused some funny problems in the early days of Lemmy, as banned words could sometimes appear in completely harmless settings/inside other words. Not sure what has happened since or on which instances it’s currently enabled.
In either case I maintain that there’s a difference between free speech (cool) and hate speech (not cool).
The Scunthorpe problem is hard, and any simple blacklist method is bound to give both false positives and false negatives.
It’s not just the Scunthorp problem either - there’s a lot of languages spoken on Lemmy and the filter isn’t able to tell when a post is in something other than English to avoid censoring, say, the French word for delay.
Yeah, I personally don’t believe in blacklisting specific words as a moderation policy in general.
I think it has served Lemmy well though - the automatic filtering of certain words might have deterred some deplorable people from settling down here. :)
Perhaps, I think its more likely that active moderation is the cause of that rather than word lists that let p!ss, pi$s and pιss through when trying to block piss.
Hey nice! Thank you!
Lol i couldnt post multiple pics through the boost app, so my Samsung created this mess of a “collage”…i can send you the full screenshots along with the post info and comments if you’re interested in creating something else!
I think it’s fine like this - gets the point across!
I didn’t knew, who Luigi Mangione is. But now I know, that Reddit protects rich people and it’s seriously not good. I have interesting subs there with no politics, but maybe it’s time to just throw my account to trash. I don’t care about posts and comments, as they say “RedUrun was here”. Holy fuck…
shockingly enough, corporations always act in their own self-interest
all the major sites do, like the archiving ones, wikipedia, google, they all protect donors and investors, family that starts with a p, talking about them got hella ppl banned from tiktok its like pursuer or something some combo of those letters, another one married a billionaire and got hella ppl banned off tiktok, it was fun watching their accounts reappear get hella views get banned start over til they disappeared forever, I saw a few sites about it
Also odriscolls being real and modern day still killing ppl openly wasnt talked about for long on reddit, and uh only find posts saying they arent that dangerous now when before theyd talk about how they became another large group
Well yeah. I mean we do need a revolution. These corpos need to gtfo and be dissolved.
When private equity and billionairs have enough money to buy up entire social platforms, newspapers, and news stations, and political races… its no longer about community consensus or discussion. Its just pure corporate propaganda.
It’s so invasive too… Hearing kids self censor for advertisers, like “unalive” or “pew pew” is deeply disturbing
Our language is being artificially pushed towards Corpo-speak
My submission history looks the same, but I’m not posting about anything political.
I’ve given up on Reddit. I only lurk on it these days and that’s only when Lemmy feels a little stale.
@lemmyingly @Rtardbunny I got banned from a “non political” subreddit (one supposedly for gay men) for pointing out that it is impossible to separate gay/Queer identity from politics
I deleted my account. I can’t be on this “thing”, knowing how it operates. Have fun with my content, I don’t care anymore.
Delete your content when you leave
I don’t care. That API shit happened, because spez is a dick. But Mangione’s case uncovered a much deeper problem. I left in a rush yes, but maybe I will find a comment, that I made. I’m a nostalgic fuck, but that feels good you know?
You can request removal, though it’s probably all been scraped by 60 companies so it’ll always be somewhere.
Replace “Mangione” with “the one who eats a lot”. That would be the kind of literal explanation of the name in Italian.
Some would say his tastes are quite rich.
I know I’m old. I see things like this and always think of leaving Digg because they didn’t want us to share a way to pirate Blu Rays and HD-DVDs, which none of us would ever use.
You can always start playing the same cat and mouse game of giving random names to all the censored terms just like the Chinese do on their chat platforms.
Or not. I’m just a message in a forum.
@iturnedintoanewt @Rtardbunny isn’t that how their president became “Winnie the Pooh”?
