Not sure if this is the right place, but I've seen this for the 3rd removed now.
Literally couldn't use the word in the title ... got a red pop-up that said "slur".
It's the 3rd word (singular) in the famous newspaper from New York ....
UPDATE: seems to be an issue with ani.social, thanks for all the feedback!
time
should be okay now. i put a certain domain in the slur filter rather than the domain filter. everything should be ok now
t-i-m-e is a slur word now because it reminds us of the shitty times today that we have
That's crazy, i can't think of a reason why thyme are banned or is a slur. Maybe the admin made a mistake?
I wonder if someone is learning a lesson about regexes on that instance. It would be very weird to replace the string 'time' on its own.
time?
Time, Dr. Freeman?
time
Wait, "Newsday" is a slur now?
Reminds me of when Minecraft Bedrock censored the word "flèche" from me, the French word for "arrow", literally an item in the game x)
Your instance is ani.social and “ti-me” (ちめ) can mean bloodshot eyes or fatal error, and might be slang for a pejorative in Japanese or something that sounds close to an actual slur.
Still a stupid reason to censor the English word time on an English community, but that’s the best reason I can think for why it got zapped by a censor bot.
Lemmy is t-i-m-eless.
They're afraid because removed not only conquers all, it heals all wounds.
Time?
I wonder if t-i-m-e is a slur in a different language, because it definitely ain't in portuguese, english, spanish, italian or japanese
removed
scunthorpe
Ageist slur
I'm confused, one instance can censor other one too?
Because everyone knows to say it right you say, Morris Day and the motherfucking TIME.
No time to explain
