This filter was very controversial, especially because at first it was hardcoded into Lemmy itself, and the devs initially were insistent in keeping it that way. Fortunately they eventually allowed it to be configurable by instance, which is a much more sensible approach. Especially considering other languages and even some english variants. And while most people like you and me appreciate the intent, many are still unsure if this is a good approach to fight the problem. It does seem hard to avoid a lot of silly false positives. I remember someone mentioning being really confused by this "Sremovedew Valley" mentioned everywhere, until they realized it was just Stardew Valley being mangled by the filter.
Lemmy has a slur filter regex. In case you're curious, you can see an instance's regex using this url (replacing the domain as needed):
CTRL+F "slur_filter"
More like 24. Low Earth Orbit is just hanging out in the porch. :)
For a serious game I'd recommend UnCiv, imho the best adaptation of Civ to the mobile form, even counting official games. Very frequently updated.
For casual games, I like:
Lona: like Snake from old feature phones, but with circular motions. You'll understand it when you see it. Familiar and fresh gameplay at the same time. Difficult to master and keep beating your highest scores. Very addictive.
Vector Pinball: as it says on the tin, just an honest to dog, simple pinball. Many tables to choose from.
I'm also addicted to Poland can into space, which is a stupid game with bad gameplay, but fun nevertheless. :)
This one is hard to explain to people from the 2020s
If this was one of those 3D maps, there would be a a spike for Naples reaching into the skies
Oh, Jesus Christ!
Nice! Do we have an evilbuildings community yet?
I love how many african nations share a distinctive style in their flags. You often see the flag of a country you're not familiar with and you can tell it's from Africa. I wonder why that is, on the one hand it's natural that nearby countries would share a lot of symbology, but this effect doesn't strike me as so pronounced in other regions of the world, except the nordics, and maybe parts of the caribbean. Probably my biases showing though.
Some of the best instances are those focused on a subject. I especially like programming.dev, mander.xyz (science) and slrpnk.net (solar punk movement or "practical utopianism").
