dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

07 The filter crushes revisionism

[–] AbbysMuscles@hexbear.net 41 points 4 days ago (25 children)

This filter is the stupidest fucking shit. Hexbear isn't some huge social media site like reddit and it's not a brine pool of reactionaries like 4chan. I trust that most people around here know how to use words responsibly and appropriately (for example, when directly quoting a historical figure). Mods can sort out edge case edgelords. Why is it necessary to outright prohibit this?

it also regularly breaks links and censors parts of west asian names

[–] BoarAvoir@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago

I would appreciate reports of any incidents of this when they happen so we can improve the filter.

The f-slur was formerly the primary culprit for both of those issues due to matching a common three letter sequence, but since tweaking it to match less aggressively, I haven't noticed any instances of the slur filter breaking URLs or censoring names. That change was made back in mid-May so any examples since that time I will attempt to fix.
