Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Why the [removed] do swears show up as [removed]? (lemmy.ml)

I'm not hating on this by the way, in fact I think it's kinda funny!

Do me a favor and reply with the B-word. Maybe I can see it because it's my own post.

I really do think it's your instance, but here we go: removed

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, your comment shows up as removed for me. Thanks.

I think I've finally figured it out based on what my sh.itjust.works account shows:

  1. If you're on a censored instance, all words will be blocked no matter what
  2. If you're on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a censored instance, that comment will still show up as removed
  3. If you're on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a non-censored instance, the comment won't be censored

When I'm on my sh.itjust.works profile, the comment by @[email protected] isn't censored, but mine still is. So, the censorship gets you both coming and going - no censored words can make it into a censored instance, and no censored words can make it out either.

Thanks for solving the mystery! I find it odd how an instance like lemmy.ml would randomly censor certain swears, but beehaw.org doesn't seem to? Maybe I'm misreading some people's comments in here.

I'm on lemmy.world and things don't seem to be censored on this instance either if anyone is curious. I can say "bitch" all I want.
