    Most likely a typo. If it were .ml’s censorship, it would say “removed”. People on other instances would still be able to see the swear word.

      No, I see effects of the censorship all the time. If the community is on .ml, all the comments go through their server and are subjected to editing, AFAIK.

      If it were .ml’s censorship, it would say “removed”.

      Yeah, was wondering if this was censorship v2 😂

        Oh, I actually typed the word “removed”.

        And I was not aware that the censorship applied to other instances.

        Here, I’ll try it out and you’ll let me know if you can see the word:

        In typical usage, removed is a pejorative term either for someone with an actual mental disability, or for someone who is considered stupid, slow to understand, or ineffective in some way. The adjective removed is used in the same way, for something very foolish or stupid.
