The admins are literal marxists (I do mean literal, check the admin profiles), and have designed the technology wanting "to make it very difficult for racist trolls to use the most updated version of Lemmy." https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/622 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/622 This of course is not necessarily a reason to avoid the underlying technology, but it may be something to consider.

Having ideological censorship baked into the base system seems like not an optimal approach.

  Kind of a self report if your ideology depends on using slurs, don't you think?

    Your comment itself is a slur (this is true by virtue of me saying that it is true (as with your comment), which is how things work here on Planet Earth, 2022), so should rightfully be censored.

At that time we barely had any moderation tools, so it was an easy way to keep some groups of users off the instance. Now its different, there are good mod tools, and many different instances. So we removed the slur filter in Lemmy 0.14.0 (instance admins can optionally configure one, which lemmy.ml does). The comment was edited Nov 2021 to include this new context.

The real Lemmy wouldn't have a rude word filter. He'd let you use the rude word, and if you got punched in the mouth for using it he'd use that as a teachable moment. Be more Lemmy.

So pick another instance[1] or start your own? That's how federation works. [1] https://join-lemmy.org/instances https://join-lemmy.org/instances

It's a good opportunity to tear down one's filter bubble and venture outside their personal echo chamber.
