ETA for fuck’s sake, even this post had to be censored down to go through. It took about 15 attempts.
A few times recently I’ve had posts refuse to go through with great big ‘you’ve been blocked!’ banners.
It seems to be very sensitive to mentions of being mean to people, not advocacy, just mentioning the existence of certain topics, and it seems to be way too hair-triggered.
I just now tried to post about the ethics of meat consumption, and why people see certain aspects as more troubling than others. Certainly nothing explicit or provocative, just the difference in perception between harvesting meat and deliberate unkindess - as abstract concepts.
I refuse to do the stupid zoomer thing of cens*ring words with numbers and punctuation, and frankly I shouldn’t have to.
I’m not sure how you’re meant to be able to have a sane conversation about ethics or politics if you’re not allowed to mention people being mean. God knows what would happen if someone tried to report actions perpetrated in an akka-akka-kablooey-competition zone.
Could someone maybe take a look at the settings, because jesus christ.
All I’m aware of is a hardcoded racial slur filter, which IMO isn’t the worst idea for a platform like this. Personally, I can’t tell what words are causing problems for you. You could take a screenshot of the text if you wanted to discuss the efficacy of the filter.
Honestly, for me, since Jan this year, this is the first time I’ve heard of anyone having any trouble. I’m genuinely curious what’s triggering the filters.
Look, it is extremely likely that there a few things potentially going on here:
- Posts are not federating across your instance right now properly due to lemmy.world having issues.
- You may have been banned from that community you are trying to post in.
- There may be word triggers that have been added to lemmy.world as a safety measure due to recent attacks.
- Or potentially the person you are responding to blocked you, unsure how that functions fully.
- You may be rate limited.
You can view the community’s modlog you are trying to post to see if you have been banned. What community are you trying to post in?
This one. This very thread took about 15 goes to post.
Lemmy.ml has a slur filter and might be limiting whatever the hell you’re trying to say, regardless. Chill.
Even this reponse needs rephrasing all to hell. Come on. Are you telling me I can’t use the word meaning the main part of an article? The part between your neck and your legs, the HTML element where the visible part of the page goes. Mustn’t say it. Seriously. What a freaking clown show.
1: nope. It’s repeatable and predictable, instant nope page or success, depending on content.
2: Nope. I managed to post this here, but only after removing certain words about being mean, rhyming with violets and calm.
3: I don’t doubt it, but unless the software is running on Eddie from HHGTTG, I don’t see how mentioning the topics could contribute to issues.
4: Nope, this very item was getting noped, and the post wasn’t responding to an individual.
5: nope, see points 1 and 4.
You mean “body”? Seems to work fine.
Meh, I ended up having to snip a sentence at a time, and that was the only word I could see that was remotely interesting. I’m not going to binary-search the whole thing to check :D
Testing to see if I can post “body” as well.
chill, its lemmy.ml that u r trying to post in! i get errors from it all the time

Each instance has different word filters, thus each community has different filters depending on the instance it’s on. What community were you trying to post on?
For example, you can find the word filter that lemmy.ml uses somewhere on this page here: lemmy.ml/api/v3/site
It’s kinda messy, but it’s after/under “slur_filter_regex” and it’s written in a format called RegEx
