Of course I understand the need to comply with laws and the need to properly moderate an instance to foster a healthy climate. My main gripe with this is that it seems to filter what is displayed, not what is written, even in other instances.
I wouldn’t take as much offense to a bot that simply prevents zip users from using certain slurs in posts or comments, though I’m not sure if that is feasible or even meets your requirement of easing the moderation load.
Yes, I agree with your gripe, it stifles discussion on external instances which was not the idea behind it.
Using the bot is the plan, and should be feasible to some extent - it may end up a whole comment or post is removed instead of just the word but I'll do some work on it ASAP. It may be we just take a notification approach instead and will manually moderate it.
Sounds good. Thank you by the way for your work and the great service you provide with this instance!
No worries. Glad you're here! Btw I've worked on this today and its 80% implemented. The slur filter is off on the instance, and the bot scans comments (not yet posts) and reports those posts to mods and admins.
