Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

lemmy.ml (your instance) removes swears and slurs and puts fuck i mean removed in their place
.ml also removes anything negative about china. It’s basically a milder tankie instance
They'll also follow you around and downvote everything your account posts if you do something the CCP doesn't like.
I do that for people who use 'literally' non-ironically. Meh.
(really hoping it also filters fuck, doubt and regret has already set in)
This happened on lemmy.world last I saw was in /c/politics. Also fuck came through just fine.
It saves every post and comment on its own server, and filters it there. If you're viewing text through lemmy.ml it will not have the N word in it. Apparently fuck is not strong enough, hence my doubt in my immediate reply to my own comment.
edit: I assume if a user on lemmy.ml comments a slur on a lemmy.world instance it will also federate only the censored version, but I'm not sure about that.
I read through the lemmy.ml rules and didn’t see where they filter anything. Can you link me where they call out doing that?
lemmy.ml is run by the devs, one of whom is dessalines. He talks about it in general for example in this issue, and again in general in Lemmy's ideal Code of Conduct here (I say ideal because it's what they want, but instances are free to do whatever they want to, at risk of defederation)
I'm sure there are lots of other places they talk about this, but they seem to see it as an integral part of Lemmy, so perhaps there is no specific announcement post. You can join a different instance and you will see a lot less of removed.
Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for!
Just because they don't announce they do doesn't mean it isn't happening.
I am trying to find more information on it, I didn’t say it wasn’t happening. Thanks!
I worry that implementing a filter means they agree to curate everything and be liable when it fails.
