This is not a SFW instance. NSFW communities will be tagged, and efforts will be made to keep SFW communities clean, but proceed at your own comfort level.
No, in general. I just think it’s funny that the internet was invented to transfer information and the first thing we did with it was figure out how to censor it - copyrighted media, news, p*rnography, the word pornography, etc.
on lemmy?

C*nsorshp really has gotten outta hand.
yeah. thats not lemmy though right?
Well, I mean it’s right there in the image. Although, I guess Lemmy doesn’t have anything directly to do with censoring it.
I asked why OP censored the image.
Is it to fool censorship bots that use OCR to recognize banned words?
does lemmy use OCR or have banned words?
Probably not. I’m assuming that the censored image is from another platform that does, or is pre-censored for general reposting.
It’s not to censor the idea. It’s that dupe detection bots use ocr text detection and fucking with letters can defeat it
And the bots would then take down the image with the offending text?
