Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Ok what is going on with the “removed” thing?? Is there some kind of instance-wide filter on words? I’ve seen this before.

Is it a blahaj thing? I’m so out of the loop on this lol

edit: actually sounds like in might be a Lemmy.world thing.

Some servers replace expletives with “removed” or similar. I think it’s silly. YMMV.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 months ago

I’m on Blahaj and can see the slurs fine, is it maybe something from your instance or client?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I see it censored too. I didn’t think Lemmy.world did that. Kind of disappointed.

[–] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Stock lemmy censors some words. Most instances patch this behavior out.

I think that might be because of your client, what are you using?

[–] kevindqc@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Boost. I don't think it is, I know some instances replace certain words by 'removed'. What did you type? Can use letters to replace some letters so it doesn't get censored again

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Voyager here (and on desktop, still seeing "removed"). I wonder if it's an instance thing on our end

[–] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's the word in the title that has asterisks in it in the title.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Out of curiosity, in your original comment, was it the uncensored word?
