    I think this post just made me realise how fucking stupid the censoring is on lemmy.ml. it removed the word f.a.g.

    I really hate swear censors. They’re sucking fupid.

      American censorship is the worst! Let us have our quaint british expressions for discussing cigarettes

        Unfortunately, on general instances they aren’t going to allow it and rightly so as it stops a lot of abuse.

          Was being a bit tongue in cheek there. It makes sense as a practicality of keeping the discourse civil.

      We do have language filters here but, because if the divergence of the English language, we allow for British English usage like “fags” for cigarettes, “removeds” for the delicious food (also bundles of wood but that doesn’t come up often) and “cunt” or the Scottish would get half their messages censored. However, with great powers comes great responsibility, so we expect people not to take the piss. Also “piss” is allowed.
