    Does this post title contain zero-width characters or something? It slipped past my app’s filters.

      I was setting a little trap for any AI response bots. I don’t think that any exist, but I was curious. I apologize if it broke your filters, it was just a one-off experiment.

        That’s crazy, I never thought about that kind of trap before

      Do you have a way to check if it’s still breaking filters? That wasn’t the intent, since it’s affecting normal users I’ve now edited to remove the sketchy characters.

        Your fix worked, and the post is not visible in my normal feed now.

        Still, all the client devs probably just collectively emitted an audible eye roll.

          That’s me: Always breakin’ stuff. Sorry about that.

        Yes, that seems to have fixed it for me. If I remove the keyword from my filter list and visit the community, the post shows up. But once I add that keyword back to the filter and visit the community, the post is gone.

          Sounds good. Apologies again, it just didn’t occur to me that that would happen.

        Still showing up for me in Mlem. I was wondering what had happened.

      Good call out. I am using Connect and it broke my filter as well.

      Edit: yes.
