I'm not okay with them filtering profanity, who the fuck are they to define what is or is not acceptable?
I don't think it's a good idea either, but it's less egregious than filtering specific communities.
I probably agree, but frankly I find neither acceptable
The stupid thing is that all those words are only in English. No "merda", "scheisse", "joder", "merde", ...
I imagine that was true for Lemmy's similar functions in the past (referred to in this thread)
You can contribute to the codebase by offering to add them in...
They aren’t complaining that there aren’t enough filters. They’re pointing out just how stupid and futile filtering a few words is in the first place.
There may also be a misunderstanding, or perhaps this argument is only one of those that only looks smart from far away, but either way to clarify: this list isn't truly a filter list, it's a listing of community NAMES that will get filtered out.
For one thing, (sadly) there aren't so many Latin-speaking instances in the Threadiverse?
And I tried to search for community names for some of the others, but did not find any? e.g. https://feddit.org/search?q=scheisse&type=Communities&listingType=All, https://feddit.org/search?q=joder&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll, etc.
So is it really "stupid" then, to block communities that don't even exist? ich_el would be an example of one that would actually exist, although I don't think that one needs to be filtered out. I was saying that if there is really truly one that should be filtered, then it could be added to the list?
If someone wanted a less ah... "argumentative" subset of the Threadiverse, then I could see how filtering out "fuck_cars" would achieve that end (not that I agree with having such a listing, or in the exact contents of this one, but I do disagree that it is "stupid" as in ineffectual to have made the list in this way - it is achieving some kind of a purpose, and with people's help that purpose could itself be changed, or if kept intact then the list enhanced to function even better than it has been doing so far).
But the "tits" filter can apply to "partits" (Catalan, means parties in English) or "partitsocialista". And now there are no communities with those names... but what if someone in the future wants to create them?
