Not sure if this is the right place, but I've seen this for the 3rd removed now.
Literally couldn't use the word in the title ... got a red pop-up that said "slur".
It's the 3rd word (singular) in the famous newspaper from New York ....
UPDATE: seems to be an issue with ani.social, thanks for all the feedback!
time
should be okay now. i put a certain domain in the slur filter rather than the domain filter. everything should be ok now
Hey, I helped!
Is there a publicly available list of domains lemmy instances filter out? For transparency.
What's up with the NYT?
No it was telegram invite links
Oh, yeah if "t.me" was interpreted as a regex it would match "time".
Also tome, tame, TSME, anything really
t-i-m-e is a slur word now because it reminds us of the shitty times today that we have
I wonder if someone is learning a lesson about regexes on that instance. It would be very weird to replace the string 'time' on its own.
Thanks so much, I knew there was some kind of term of concept for that but couldn't find it!
I remember back in the early web days I was trying to make a post on a forum with something about Dick Van Dyke, getting a double-whammy name block. He already unfamiliar to the younger people even back then, so none of my attempts to explain who I was talking about worked. I couldn't even say what show he starred in for them to look up, since it was also called The Dick van Dyke Show.
That's crazy, i can't think of a reason why thyme are banned or is a slur. Maybe the admin made a mistake?
Yeah, has to be a mistake.
Too many gifs of people shoving the redacted cube up their ass
They're afraid because removed not only conquers all, it heals all wounds.
Reminds me of when Minecraft Bedrock censored the word "flèche" from me, the French word for "arrow", literally an item in the game x)
elder scroll online censored the word sperm, but "whisper" was how they called the private chat, so you'd see lot of people on the global chat writing "whisper me" which was shown as "whi*** *e"
That is hilarious!
Certain Pokémon games have filters preventing you from online trading Pokémon which have nicknames that include bad words. However, some Pokémon such as Cofagrigus have bad words in their names by default so you have to nickname those in order to trade them.
Gundam Evolution has been censoring the word "corn"
So you've seen Gundam Uni**** in the chat
time
time?
removed?
yeah ... that one.
thats so weird!!
Ok, might be my instance. Thanks for the feedback.

Time, Dr. Freeman?
Your instance is ani.social and “ti-me” (ちめ) can mean bloodshot eyes or fatal error, and might be slang for a pejorative in Japanese or something that sounds close to an actual slur.
Still a stupid reason to censor the English word time on an English community, but that’s the best reason I can think for why it got zapped by a censor bot.
Which is funny because there are multiple anime with “time” in their title. So I wonder how that’s going to look.
“Tis redacted for torture, princess”
Wait, "Newsday" is a slur now?
I see time, must be something on your side or instance? Probably a mistake, I can't see how time is a slur in any way or form.
I see the word time a lot of times here too.
The funniest thing is, even with "view source" it shows up the same for me. So I can't even tell if you're mocking me!
(I could by going through another instance, but I'll just assume you are).
Lemmy is t-i-m-eless.
