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!

Pretty sure that's not it. People are saying removed as a joke. It's a filter for slurs, not swears.

removed vs. b i t c h

It's not a joke. You can try it yourself.

Looks like I can say bitch just fine. Is it my instance? Or maybe because I'm on Liftoff and not Jerboa?

It may be your instance - your comment shows as "Looks like I can say removed just fine" to me. I may be switching to lemmy.ee it seems.

Edit: turns out my alt on sh.itjust.works can see them fine, so I'm migrating my account over there.

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

[–] hakase@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] crabs@lemm.ee 3 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 @Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network 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.

Lemmy is growing more irritating with shit like this.
