    Does ml auto-censor posts for mildly spicy language or something?

      Anything that could be remotely considered a slur.

        Including the literal scientific name for a female dog. .ml is a joke.

          I mean, I can think of plenty of slurs with innocuous origins. It’s about how they’re used.

            I’m tempted to start a community about the country between Chad and Mali… A nice wholesome community… I’m completely unqualified and know nothing about it but the amount of removed words would be amusing…

            So do they consider the use or no?

              No, it’s automatic based on a filter list. I wonder if it accounts for other languages though.

                  Any ml users want to let me know if it filtered? I set my language to French for that comment.

                  lmao

              Haven’t read their policy – simply saying origin is a useless way to determine whether or not something is a slur.

                Well yeah, which is why a blanket ban on “bitch” would be stupid

                  A blanket ban on any word won’t do anything to fix the problem.

                    Originally they weren’t even going to let admins turn it off.

            The newest example being “DEI”

            I’m sorry have y’all not seen racists using that as a slur lately? Saw a dude refer to Baltimore’s “DEI mayor” the other day
