    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.

      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…

          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.

            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.

            I would personally send you to the gulag.

              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?
