Noticed not many people use curse words.

So… why the fuck not?

    Lemmy has a hard-coded swear word filter that replaces a number of words with removed. Not seeing words makes you less likely to use them yourself.

        it used to have it hardcoded in software but I believe they made it an instance option a bit before the reddit exodus

        We do as far as I know. But more for actual slurs (like homophobic ones).

        Generally I’m against filters, if someone writes a bad word I want to see it and then decide for myself if I report and/or block them.
