Not sure if this is the right place, but I've seen this for the 3rd removed now.

Literally couldn't use the word in the title ... got a red pop-up that said "slur".

It's the 3rd word (singular) in the famous newspaper from New York ....

UPDATE: seems to be an issue with ani.social, thanks for all the feedback!

time?

time?

Wait, "Newsday" is a slur now?

Time?

removed?

yeah ... that one.

maybe it's my instance?

Must be, I can see it all. Nothing is censored except your reply.

thats so weird!!

I see time, must be something on your side or instance? Probably a mistake, I can't see how time is a slur in any way or form.

Ok, might be my instance. Thanks for the feedback.

It sounds like there's something up with your instance. The word is t i m e, and it shows up ok here.

Lemmy is t-i-m-eless.

... is your instance run by Melinoë?

Death to Chronos by the way

That's crazy, i can't think of a reason why thyme are banned or is a slur. Maybe the admin made a mistake?

Yeah, has to be a mistake.

I wonder if someone is learning a lesson about regexes on that instance. It would be very weird to replace the string 'time' on its own.

Time, Dr. Freeman?

I wonder if t-i-m-e is a slur in a different language, because it definitely ain't in portuguese, english, spanish, italian or japanese

t-i-m-e is a slur word now because it reminds us of the shitty times today that we have

I see the word time a lot of times here too.

The funniest thing is, even with "view source" it shows up the same for me. So I can't even tell if you're mocking me!

(I could by going through another instance, but I'll just assume you are).

Reminds me of when Minecraft Bedrock censored the word "flèche" from me, the French word for "arrow", literally an item in the game x)

Nope, not mocking you.

Well, then you're just missing out!

Gundam Evolution has been censoring the word "corn"

So you've seen Gundam Uni**** in the chat

Your instance is ani.social and “ti-me” (ちめ) can mean bloodshot eyes or fatal error, and might be slang for a pejorative in Japanese or something that sounds close to an actual slur.

Still a stupid reason to censor the English word time on an English community, but that’s the best reason I can think for why it got zapped by a censor bot.

elder scroll online censored the word sperm, but "whisper" was how they called the private chat, so you'd see lot of people on the global chat writing "whisper me" which was shown as "whi*** *e"

That is hilarious!

Are you using an app or a browser? It looks like a browser to me and maybe there is an extension messing with it? Maybe somebody is pranking you? Just a thought.

Browser, lot of extensions but they aren't to blame. Other users from my instance confirmed the same issue.

Which is funny because there are multiple anime with “time” in their title. So I wonder how that’s going to look.

“Tis redacted for torture, princess”

I love that one. Season 2 was actually better than the first!.

Obligatory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem

No time to explain

Thanks so much, I knew there was some kind of term of concept for that but couldn't find it!

time

should be okay now. i put a certain domain in the slur filter rather than the domain filter. everything should be ok now

Hey, I helped!

Looks fine this time!

Because everyone knows to say it right you say, Morris Day and the motherfucking TIME.

What's up with the NYT?

They have a lot fun games !dailygames@lemmy.zip

No it was telegram invite links

What is this from?

I always called it the buttbuttination (of Lincoln) problem, heh.

Oh-we-oh-we-oh

But what’s the slur they’re hunting if they catch “time”? Is it tim, ime, ti, me or something else?

All the news fit to-gone! Nothing! Shop closed, bets off!

No idea and not sure if it's right. They could be attempting to match something across whitespace or line breaks and gotten greedy. Or maybe it is just a string match and not regex and they pasted the wrong string, but that still feels weird.
