Fucking, Austria eventually gave in:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugging,_Upper_Austria
Despite a population of only 106 in 2020, the village has drawn attention in the English-speaking world for its former name, which was spelled the same as an inflected form of the vulgar English-language word "fuck".[1][2] Its road signs were a popular visitor attraction and were often stolen by souvenir-hunting vandals until 2005, when they were modified to be theft-resistant. A campaign to change the village's name to Fugging was rejected in 2004 but succeeded in late 2020.[3][4]
The village on Lunt near Liverpool considered changing its name to “Launt”, because vandals kept adding a top stroke to the L in signs.

It doesn't actually give any examples of removed posts or screenshots of the reasons why? Surely it can't just be because a town name happens to contain "lsd" in the middle of it?
It's facebook, that's entirely possible.

Facebook is a remarkably bad website so i think you'd be quite surprised at how stuck in the past they are over there
