Is quoting Wikipedia now banned on Lemmy? I was under impression arsehole censoring mods here were mostly focused on removing mentions of Israeli genocide of Palestinians.
Chuds not being able to post the N word for a day — challenge level: impossible.
Like, we all knew what the book was, but it was still SO important for you to post this. It was life or death for you. Not saying slurs physically makes your skin crawl. You cannot help but be a racist sack of shit.
Got you. Imgur is now completely blocked in the UK after the “Online Safety Act”, “to protect the children”, because maybe one of the pictures hosted on it is some boobs or something?
Same problem but when I migrated from Black Ops 1 to Modern Warfare 2 or something similar - couldn’t name my class containing assault rifles “assault”
Dark Souls would do something similar with names in PvP. For the most part it wasn’t a huge deal but being a medieval fantasy game, a lot of players you’d face would be called “___ K***ht”.
Ok yeah. duh. you know its funny because I was wracking my brain for a word that had ht like that. Man so like every name with night would get hit. night blade, night terror, etc.
honestly that does not make sense to me either. wpe? you know back in my mmo days I remember we would laugh at some stuff that was and I did like to screw around putting stars in my chat.

so for anyone else confused…
“Content not viewable in your region”?
Now I’m more confused.
There you go. This censorship is getting ridiculous. Next time people born in Fucking, Austria won’t be able to explain where they are from.

I would personally send you to the gulag.
10 little subsets of the the human species with really high level of melanin in their skin.
the screenshot is hosted on imgur.com, do you generally have problems with that one? it was just a screenshot of mentioned wiki article.

I had no idea. Time to search for replacement.

I’d love a replacement for the “Online Safety Act” :)
Temporary solution to this is vpn…
Lemmy admins can create word filters. They replace words with removed when you use a word in the filter.
Most admins only add slurs and other nasty things. In this case we’re talking about the N word, hard R.
It’s automated. Instances can setup a list of words that will automatically get removed. Has nothing to do where it comes from.
Also, jordanlund is a mod himself, so…
I know 😁
Bots will automatically remove certain words regardless of context.
I used to see this all the time in the old Sega game “Phantasy Star Online” where objectionable chat was replaced with “*”.
So “Nice shoes!” became “Nice s****!”
You couldn’t arrange to play a game on “Sa****ay”.
And god help you if you lived in a “ba*****t”.
Or if your name was Nasser…

I love how your experience with regex censoring comes down to Phantasy Star Online. It’s so on the money for you to use as a reference.

I really thought you were talking about Elder scrolls, and was wondering how Khajiit would be censored (“haji”?) before my dyslexia kicked out
I still can’t figure it out.
knight
k***ht

Because it doesn’t make sense, DS and ER are overly censoring, my friend made a character, bowperson, it censors it to bo***rson
honestly that does not make sense to me either. wpe? you know back in my mmo days I remember we would laugh at some stuff that was and I did like to screw around putting stars in my chat.
Black Knight? Great film
I wanted to make a lore friendly character name in elden ring but they censored the word finger…
Variations on the way we used to handle the Scunthorp problems are almost always amusing for how bad they were
