Huh, on one thread I notice cunt was censored, the comment still went through with removed under that word, while other swear words went through.
I hate that kind of censorship, bad words are case by case, just because people have used cunt in bad ways doesn't mean no one should be able to use it, if it did the ill intentioned could disallow any word or argument by starting to use it, not all that hypothetical, the right co-opts left terminology and issues all the time, and discredits them with the sheep as such.
What you are talking about is way worse though, I find that disqualifying if true. Wtf? Is piefed started by religious extremists, trying to stay out of the crosshairs of extremists? Hate freedom of speech? Segregating from each other from some imperiously minded administrator deciding what's good for us is a road to NOT overtaking social media that has become parasitic.
This is all configurable by site admins and not baked into the code.
Fuck. I moved here from instance that was sinked. I need to move again? Is that true?
No, there's no word censorship of posts or comments. Rimu did add in a word filter for instances to be able to use if they wanted - but it's unused currently.
For piefed.social specifically, there are some words/phrases in the filter currently. Most of them are malicious links that have been spammed in the past or phrases that have been present among private message spam waves. Only one racial slur that I see in the list.
