Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.

    Lemmy language filters aren’t that reliable, though, you can still type out b​it​​ch if you use circumvention tricks that I learnt about 15 years ago.

    I’m not really sure what the point of the slur filter is, in my opinion Lemmy would be better served if the slur filter was used to automatically notify admins of potential abuse (racists, trolls, etc.) rather than try to clean up words.
