This might actually make me switch instances. I don't get what the point of the filter even is, I'm not 6 anymore, it's fine if I see no-no words.

[–] BreakDecks@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

My biggest complaint is that I can't actually see what slur was removed, and there are some softball words in the list that I honestly don't give a shit about, so I am always hesitant to report one of these posts because I don't know exactly what they said.

"Removed" could be the n-word, or it could just be a rude word, so how am I supposed to make a call whenever I see it?

I see the original word. I’m on sh.itjust.works if that’s helpful, you can imagine they probably don’t filter bad words :-)
