https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/816#issuecomment-644694838 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/816#issuecomment-6446... > Edit: This comment was written at a time when Lemmy the software was practically identical with the lemmy.ml instance. 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.
