Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It isn't chump and his taintsuckers you gotta worry about.
It's the army of Federalist Society lawyers and policy experts around him. They've spent decades figuring out the removed in the armor of our governmental system. Figuring out how to dismantle it piece by piece.
Edit - wtf is that removed about? Wait....oh. bot thinks I did a racism.
Ha. Reminds me of an Asian standup comedian who had this routine about how he grew up in the inner city where the basketball nets were made of chains and so the chains didn't go 'swish,' they went 'chіnk.' So when guys wanted to play basketball, they said, "let's go shoot us up some chіnk."
Thank you, Cyrillic letter і, for letting me bypass the bot to tell that joke. Because I've remembered that joke for years.
lemmy.ml removes certain words, other instances don't.
Of course the tankies get their pants all knotted over THIS.
To attack the c h eye nk in someone's armor shouldn't be censored. Its a word that has meaning other than rascist. Bot should be smarter.

I don't mind removed, but the group of people I don't care for is the removed. They're almost as bad as removed!
Wtf was removed
chink in their armor.
Omg...what an idiotic auto moderation
What do you expect from marxist leninists?
I really need someone to explain all the random marxist leninists bogey-man bigotry that happens on this site at some point. Like this is a completely weird-o comment, about a political ideology that's effecting a word filter for possible rascism? and on .world people still label it marxist?!
I'm aware there is deep historical connotations which I haven't spent years researching so I try not to defend or participate but it feels like since people push back against "instance hating", we've gotta pour on any political hatred we could possibly see in the shadows. I'm just gonna assume this is another bad faith comment striking up fear and hatred till I learn otherwise.
My dude, what do you think the .ml in your instance stands for?
They're asking what automod removing an out of context word has to do with marxism/ leninism. This kind of error can happen on any instance that automatically removes slurs, and that particular one isnt exactly commonly used either way.
.ml is Mali and marxist-leninists tend to use .ml as their hosting domain of choice the way that a lot of Generative AI domains are hosted in Anguilla because of the .ai domain.
Am I still missing something? This is posted on the instance of .world, wtf are we talking about .ml and politics for? If your instance filters your comments on other instances than that's concerning and something I didn't know.
edit: removed the sarcasm in the hopes someone actually responds to what the problem is.
Yes, something you're missing is that it was your (our) instance which removed the word from your comment. I believe the slur filters are effectively a combination of the configured filters on the writer's instance, the reader's instance, and the community's instance.
If you view this thread from other other users' instances (via the
link on their comments in the web view), you will see that the word which was removed from your comment is not removed from comments by users on some other instances (despite that it is also removed from their comments when viewed from our instance). HTH.
(imo false positives from the slur filter are annoying, but so are the people casually using slurs who are prevented from doing so by it; it's a tradeoff i don't feel strongly about. although i do think it would be much better if the writer-side version of it could notify users of the impending bowdlerization prior to posting.)
Man, it's just classic tribalism and confirmation bias. People assume the most obnoxious voices are representative of all Communist spaces and that's poisoned a lot of perception here. Folks love having a villain to pick on and reddit.world here has decided "tankies are the bad guy".
Similar to chips in the armor
What was removed ? I don't understand
A small imperfection in armor sometimes used to refer derogatorally towards people of east Asian decent
Thanks !!
Chinamen is not the preferred nomenclature, Dude.
Look, this isn't a guy who built the... I mean what's your point, man ? what's the word ?? I'm out of my element
Fucken hell, that's the correct fucking way to define a gap in armor. Bullshit. I really want to try a bunch of slurs out and see what sets it off.
This is surely the most rational reaction to being slightly inconvenienced by a word filter.
Anyone else remember Neopets? They had a filter that was extreme and multilingual. I can't count how many times I'd write a friendly message, the filter would block it, and I would end up editing chunks of text trying to avoid whatever word or series of letters the filter thought was inappropriate. Sometimes it'd be a few letters embedded in another word (like "associate" being banned for the letters a s s.) But sometimes, I was truly stumped. The only explanation I can think of is that some letters in English words matched up to swears in other languages.
Anyway, fun fact - I met my first boyfriend through that site. We decided to see how dirty we could talk while still getting messages past the filter. We used innuendos, slang, and other turns of phrase with each other just to see what we could get away with.
In the end, all that filter did was make us more creative at communicating forbidden topics. Whoops ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
Nintendo still does this. There are pokemon names you can't use as nicknames because it gets filtered. Most recently: Moltres EX gets caught by the filter on TCG Pocket and you can't label your deck after it. "Violet" was blocked on an older game because "viol" is French for "rape". Lazy, overcorrecting filter.
Would a younger kid have understood what was being talked about or would it have gone over their head like the dirty jokes in kids cartoons? If the latter, the filters did their job. Neopets was probably one of the rare instances where parents actually signed the permission slips for their under 13 year old kids to use the social aspects. I know my parents did and it was the only site they ever did that for.
SEE WHAT YOU'RE MAKING ME DO? NOW I HAVE TO SAY THE N WORD... I DON'T WANT TO BUT YOU GAVE ME NO CHOICE!
"What if I come up with an entirely fictitious, nigh-impossible combination of circumstances to try and corner you into accepting my racial prejudice?"
also the answer is yes. Just because it's a last wish doesn't make it okay. it's not like you can wish to do crimes for example.
I'd be slightly curious about why a child would make that particular dying wish, why they think anyone really has the power to either grant (if the wish is to say it without anyone thinking badly of them) or prevent that wish (if they just want to be able to say it, they already can), but mostly just lose any sympathy I might have had for the kid because I wouldn't expect any good answer to that first question.

Not much since you're on .world. .ml is much more strict.
Wait until you try the in-game chat in Rocket League. You can't even type "Discord". It's a banned word. 🤡
They’re probably trying to prevent people spamming discord invite links in game. I don’t necessarily have an issue with that. If someone got invited to a scam discord server from RL chat, blowback would definitely hit RL for allowing that on-ramp. If you vibe with someone and want to invite them to a discord server to enable teaming up easier, you can always send them the code after the discord.gg/ part of the link.
That's gotta be it, yeah. You're absolutely right.
Although typing in another language is absolutely impossible, at least for us in Sweden. So many basic words get bleeped, even if the banned word is only part of a larger word. An example: "I have to stop playing now" -> "Jag måste sluta spela nu". "slut" is banned, sentence looks like this: "Jag måste ***** spela nu"
And it's like that for like a substantial amount of sentences. So we'll just go on Discord to talk. But we can't say "hop on discord" or similar, so we just immediately say "disc" 😆
Go removed ahead you removed.
Are you saying your comment was edited?
.ml replaces certain words with "removed"
In this case it seems to have been this term.
The "r" word will be removed too.
I haven't noticed what the others are. I swear fairly often and those haven't been removed. I would guess only things that are slurs etc.
Edit: It was removed from my link as well. LOL. Look up "gap in suit of armor" if you haven't figured it out already. Kinda ironically, when it's used as a slur it's against chinese people.
There are better Lemmy hosts out there, just waiting for you to join.
