We should’ve started it a century ago

I looked through the data and less than 1% was looking for a same-sex partner

Great video

Great illustration

Does it grow?

Yes they’re keywords, but they also happen to be the exact names of threadiverse 8 communities, so that’s pretty specific to me.

Is that specifically added for that person that uses þ all the time?

I’ve made a PR

Wasn’t that only blocking slurs and not specific communities?

You go to https://INSTANCE_DOMAIN/c/COMMUNITY_NAME@COMMUNITY_DOMAIN and press Join

Let’s not make those assumptions based on an old filter list

I don’t think that’s the reason. The code mentions it filtering out “low-effort” communities so the devs probably didn’t like seeing so many posts from it on their frontpage.

# sort out the 'seven things you can't say on tv' names (cursewords), plus some
# "low effort" communities

I’ve opened my first PieFed PR

It’s helpful if you want to watch foreign news I guess

Only if you have free / cheap electricity

It’s lemmy.ml, I wouldn’t count on it

• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected] (not affected by check because of the letters)

That doesn’t make any sense because it doesn’t block the new 196 community because it uses letters

I think a regex to filter out common slurs isn’t really the same

The regex:

(fag(g|got|tard)?\b|cock\s?sucker(s|ing)?|ni((g{2,}|q)+|[gq]{2,})[e3r]+(s|z)?|mudslime?s?|kikes?|\bspi(c|k)s?\b|\bchinks?|gooks?|bitch(es|ing|y)?|whor(es?|ing)|\btr(a|@)nn?(y|ies?)|\b(b|re|r)tard(ed)?s?)

Link to code

It has been removed from 2/3 places in the codebase. I’m guessing they missed the other list so I’ve opened an issue and PR on Codeberg.
