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
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.
