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.

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

It also says removed if you type your password

Oh, that takes me back... Thank you.

I explained this bit of lore to my friend the other day, who is also chronically online, but a different kind than me, so they hadn't heard it before.

Lemmy has hard coded censorship. It can be disabled via the code, but irrc not via config. It was a large source of criticism, even 3 years ago: https://linuxreviews.org/Lemmy

[–] stu@lemmy.pit.ninja 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is a server config option. Lemmy.ml uses a banned word list, while other instances don't. The words are still there and visible from instances that don't censor.

[–] hakase@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Are there any instances that you know of that disable the censorship? I already got my fill of cybernannies on Reddit.

Edit: My alt on sh.itjust.works can see the censored words, and it defederates with much fewer instances than lemmy.ml. Seems like migrating over there is the best choice.

[–] Bipta@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not Lemmy, but you could join us over on kbin!

[–] hakase@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I tried a few days ago, but every kbin instance I went to requires an email to sign up. Maybe I'll try again with a throwaway email.

[–] count_duckula@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

anonaddy.com or simplelogin.io

EDIT: These are email aliasing services. You create an alias and emails get redirected to your inbox. Your original email is still protected.

Lemmy has hard coded censorship

I've noticed that a few of my comments wouldn't actually post. The word for when you commit Sudoku (suicide) seems to be on the no-no list. I also wanted to comment about a weapon known by a two letter designation (AK) and that wasn't allowed either.

Edit: seems like it might be some instances only.

[–] Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I need to test this

Fuck, shit, ass, bitch. Let's see which words get removed if any

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)
[–] CallumWells@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

In case you want to know, your 5th word is "removed" when viewed from lemmy.ml

Cheers

[–] argv_minus_one 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And only the fifth word?

I find that hilarious for some reason.

[–] CallumWells@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Yup, only the fifth word.

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is very helpful, thank you.

[–] MartinXYZ@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What was the fifth word? The B-word?

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

[Word for male chicken that can also be used for male genitalia]-sucker

There should also be a link that points to a song where all these words are sung as lyrics to said song. Is that link also removed?

[–] MartinXYZ@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, the link works fine.

I see the list has been expanded since the original edition.

None removed, your instance doesn't block naughty word. (At least not these)

[–] FermatsLastAccount@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

[–] hakase@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

removed vs. b i t c h

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

[–] crabs@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] hakase@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] crabs@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] hakase@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Stuka@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Lemmy is growing more irritating with shit like this.

[–] Lemmchen@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure they removed the hardcoded filter as a result of the original discussion.

[–] testAccount@lemmy.one 13 points 1 year ago

Not a Jerboa specific issue

[–] BlessedDog@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I thought that was just formatting, as a joke?

Testing: removed

Edit: LMAO

[–] elouboub@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Removed? Did you type "bitch" and it was removed?

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, words are censored on Lemmy.ml!? What the titting fuck?? If I want to read "naughty words", that's my right as a grown-ass twat! These bitches have now pissed me right off...

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This was your original comment on feddit.nl:

...and this is what it looks like on lemmy.ml / Jerboa:

[–] socsa@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Wait, we can't say removed? What the removed?

[–] klemptor@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Certain words are being censored. I really don't love it but we can all fill in the blanks.

[–] argv_minus_one 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Meanwhile on Beehaw, where the only rule is to be nice, I can say “bitch bitch bitchity bitch” all I want, as long as I'm nice about it.

Which, I guess, limits its applications to discussions about dogs.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If you run it through google translate, it's a little more... colorful that that...

Huren - one who sells sexual services.
Sohn - Son of.

So basically:
