In this comment my use of the “b” word was overzealously suppressed, silently without telling me. I only discovered it when re-reading my post.

There are THREE #LemmyBug cases here:

  1. when the “b” word is used as a verb, it’s not a slur. And when it’s used as a noun, it’s only a slur if not literally referring to a dog.

  2. my post was tampered with without even telling me. Authors should be informed when their words are manipulated and yet still presented to others as their own words.

  3. The word “removed” cannot simply replace any word. It makes my sentence unreadable. In the very least, the word should be “REDACTED”, and there should be a footnote added that explains /why/ it was redacted.

    I don’t think lemmy comes with a filter enabled by default, so you could probably move to most other instances
