      Now I need to know what it is. My first thought would be Spotted Dick, but then Dick is a name. Maybe Pork removeds? That one I can understand being removed.

        I think I know what it is. You can buy them in the supermarket. It’s slang for a gay man, rhymes with maggot.

          Ah yes, I understand why they remove it as I don’t think it’s often used in its other contexts. I do prefer to use it to describe a bundle of sticks

            And Norwegian. It’s hard to converse with countrymen on a platform running word filters for another language.

            Not just playing the instrument “removed”, but discussing school classes with friends and family as we would say “hvilke fag tar du i år?” to ask which classes you take this year. Luckily Lemmyworld isn’t that aggressive, but many online chat services and emails clients have started screaming at “fag”.

            Encountering such filters on a school computer that blocked my emails was particularly frustrating.

          Someone has a word that shares the f-slur for a benign food product? Holy shit that’s unfortunate.

        Why the fuck is this showing up as “Pork removeds” for me?

        I feel like that guy on Reddit who accidentally set his device’s language to Spanish and asked for help in Reddit, and everyone pranked him by writing their comments in Spanish
