Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

But how will the south watch all that transexual porn they love so much?
Side subject, sorry for my aside: I'm starting to really get annoyed at the censorship on my instance.
It was probably the lemmy.ml word filter, not lemmy.world
Weird, I'm a .world account too and I see what the comment said just fine
Same here.
That is weird. Maybe it's a federation issue, I'm not sure how it all works.
What client are you using? Maybe that’s the issue?
Boost for Lemmy. It's an android app.
I'm also on boost, it shows fine for me. I don't even see a setting to enable censoring an individual word in comments. Just posts.
Looks uncensored to me on desktop.
edit: Wait, was it edited at some point?
I'm gonna guess original comment said tranny
Well your comment hasn't been censored either.
I'm on a different instance, maybe only censors comments made on .world? No idea otherwise lol
You can export all your subscriptions pretty easily so you can sign up to a different instance and import everything over. Check Lemmy settings.
Kinda strange that world blocks that word. I'm on a queer instance and I can still see that word, in fact I don't think I have ever encountered any removed words on my instance.
I'm on .world and I see:
granted, it was edited an hour after irreticent posted their comment, and I can't see what it said before. (possibly the OC originally wrote "removed"?)
That would be strange if Annisem literally wrote removed and then changed it to transexual later. Only reasons I can think of is that it was a bizarre attempt at trolling or they really did mean removed and then changed it because people thought it actually got removed. It's also possible they did originally write a different word such as the t slur which they changed to transexual after seeing that what they originally wrote got removed.
I’m not sure that .world or lemmy at large even has that ability. normally mods would just yeet the entire comment.
It could have been an attempt at humor, or something. I dunno.
What I do know is that it’s not censored now.
Lemmy does have the capability and some instances use it. I'm not exactly sure how it works.
That is a possibility. It all seems weird to me.
Agreed that’s weird, no question there, but I don’t think that’s on lemmy or .world. I’m pretty sure they don’t have the ability to censor specific words like that- the response from mods or admin would be to just remove the comment.
Let’s just be honest, censoring single words is stupid. For one thing, I guarantee you my imagination is going to fill in a much interesting alternative.
lemmy does have a regex based slur filter that replaces matched words with removed
this one was likely caught by lemmy.ml if it was indeed the variant ending in nny, as that one is in their slur filter.
Yeah, I’ve been a annoyed by this a time or two as well
I'm honestly curious what that porn fetish was that it was so bad to be censored. Anyone off-world able to enlighten me?
It’s the short hand version of Transexual. Tran-ny is what got censored.
That would be porn featuring people who were born as a boy or a girl by mistake, and who have since tried to put that right. Rocky Horror Picture Show has a "sweet" song with the word which is apparently problematic.
How incredibly bizarre. Why is it even allowed to edit a post?
becuz, hooched awn foeneks werked faur mii.
Should look at others.
Unless you actually are a child who can't handle reading magic words. Then you probably shouldn't be online at all.
