Is quoting Wikipedia now banned on Lemmy? I was under impression arsehole censoring mods here were mostly focused on removing mentions of Israeli genocide of Palestinians.
Dark Souls would do something similar with names in PvP. For the most part it wasn’t a huge deal but being a medieval fantasy game, a lot of players you’d face would be called “___ K***ht”.
Same problem but when I migrated from Black Ops 1 to Modern Warfare 2 or something similar - couldn’t name my class containing assault rifles “assault”
Chuds not being able to post the N word for a day — challenge level: impossible.
Like, we all knew what the book was, but it was still SO important for you to post this. It was life or death for you. Not saying slurs physically makes your skin crawl. You cannot help but be a racist sack of shit.
As an Australian who has never studied Agatha Christie in any context, I literally had no clue what the censored word was. I was, and am, appreciative of the context that was provided by other commenters. Be careful when you make blanket statements like “we all knew what the book was”, because you’ll almost always be confidently incorrect.
Got you. Imgur is now completely blocked in the UK after the “Online Safety Act”, “to protect the children”, because maybe one of the pictures hosted on it is some boobs or something?

It’s automated. Instances can setup a list of words that will automatically get removed. Has nothing to do where it comes from.
Also, jordanlund is a mod himself, so…
I know 😁
Bots will automatically remove certain words regardless of context.
I used to see this all the time in the old Sega game “Phantasy Star Online” where objectionable chat was replaced with “*”.
So “Nice shoes!” became “Nice s****!”
You couldn’t arrange to play a game on “Sa****ay”.
And god help you if you lived in a “ba*****t”.

I love how your experience with regex censoring comes down to Phantasy Star Online. It’s so on the money for you to use as a reference.
Truly king of the neckbeards.
Or if your name was Nasser…

so for anyone else confused…
“Content not viewable in your region”?
Now I’m more confused.
There you go. This censorship is getting ridiculous. Next time people born in Fucking, Austria won’t be able to explain where they are from.

I would personally send you to the gulag.

Be quiet, nerd. Nobody needs your anecdote about how stressed you were not knowing the specific slur.
I’m a nerd for… not knowing that a book exists? Weird, but okay I guess.
You are speaking to a tankie. They are confidently incorrect pretty much by definition.
Same here. I didn’t know this book exists.

the screenshot is hosted on imgur.com, do you generally have problems with that one? it was just a screenshot of mentioned wiki article.

I had no idea. Time to search for replacement.
I’d love a replacement for the “Online Safety Act” :)
Temporary solution to this is vpn…
