This! This right here! This comment was edited by the mods or a censor bot! I fucking told you guys they were doing it!

I raised hell under a different name for a politically motivated mod changing my comments to agree with them, so I copied all the original comments into a word document and would edit them back to the original after the mod kept changing it, and they banned that username. This is some bullshit, and it needs to fucking stop.

I don't know what you're on ab, i can see the whole comment?

They also tried bitching about girls tops until a group of very pissed off redneck fathers had questions about how they were touching the students to measure the width.

I think you know pretty precisely what I'm on about. Was the rant about censorship not clear? ๐Ÿคฃ

Then change instances? Host your own?

There are indeed solutions to these issues

You.. Didn't read the other comments. This was already settled.

I see the uncensored word.

I don't understand. You are on lemmy.ml, which is an instance that does not display slurs in an effort to create a better social environment. It is totally automatic, and doesn't involve an angry mod manually changing them, because if there really were to be a problem with your post, then the entire post/comment would simply be removed. If you disagree with this, then lemmy.ml isn't for you, but don't worry there are many other instances ou there.

You ever read a 1-star review on Amazon from someone who was clearly too stupid to know how to use the product? Like someone complaining that a USB-C charger doesn't work because it doesn't plug into their iphone?

That's you. That's the type of person you are.

Jesus Christ you're late to the party. Ever had the perfect thing to say to someone a day too late, after they already left? That's you. Read the comments, and get over yourself. Like Chandler without the laugh track.

Some Lemmy instances, including lemmy.ml if I'm not mistaken, have a list of forbidden words that they automatically remove.
