Oh wait... scratch my last comment about not being able to follow the URL, I figured out what word was being censored from the URL. For posterity, and as an excellent example of it being a pretty dumb idea to censor words on a forum no matter how well-intentioned, the word in question is a synonym for female dogs and hilariously the letters that combine to form this word weren't even being put next to each for the purpose of making the naughty word but were instead trying to say bit chute, as in bits of information and chute as in a channel or inclined plane for conveying things. I hope there's enough there for others to figure out and amend the URL as needed. Just in case, I'm going to see what happens if I encode the URL in to something. Bit Chute link for Vagrant Holiday
EDIT: Yep, it even removes the naughty words from encoded URLs that wouldn't even have been seen by people reading the comment, great idea, what could go wrong?
Lol this is aweful, wonder if its an .ml issue can you read "bitch"?
Guessing you got to the channel?
Nope, whatever you wrote between those quotes is now just the word "REMOVED" written in lower case and italics. (I wrote in all caps and non-italicised to emphasize that I'm actually typing REMOVED when quoting what Lemmy replaces censored words with as opposed to being censored)
Yep I got to the channel. Watching the one in Japan. Despite how he just slings crap at everything he sees as his schtick, it seems so far like he actually rather likes the place.
Maybe there's something you your settings but glad .world doesn't seem to censor.
Lol yea I find his critics to be very relatable
