I frequently see removed in a lot of posts and comments. I’m guessing there’s some kind of filter at work? I checked my Voyager settings and I don’t see that I’ve blocked any words, is this happening server side?
From context, it looks like the censored words are pretty common, and not especially potent, curse words. Is this really necessary?
I wonder if you might make an exception for the b-word, per the case I’ve made here? https://lemmy.ml/comment/17736838
I honestly haven’t heard the b-word used much as an intentionally sexist slur outside of like, 4chan. I (female) say it to my female friends pretty casually. even when I hear it used as a curse word (usually as -ing), it doesn’t come across as a slur. for example, I hear it applied to men with roughly equal frequency as women. it’s also pretty reclaimed (“she’s a badass b-word.”)
maybe could try taking it out, and maybe put it back if people are using it in a sexist way? (though hopefully sexists are disciplined rather than just having a single word in a sexist diatribe censored.)
