This is a . world community though...unless .ml is somehow able to filter their user's posts??
I think its the .ml doing the changing as all the traffic of .ml users go through its servers
Tanking is ok, but swearing goes too far.
Oppression has to start somewhere.
Correct, the user is on .ml (if others hadn't noticed) so his comments are hosted on that server.
Are they? So if I read a post where users from hundreds of different servers are commenting, my phone has to make hundreds of requests to all those servers? Doesn't seem right
Your phone queries your home instance, your instance fetches comments from the other servers.
Yes that's exactly what ml is doing. They have a slur filter.

Cool... my instance isn't run by an idiot.
dot ml is the only mainstream on to implement it afaik.
There was a time (before the api exodus) where the devs were planning on making the filter compulsory for all instances, you can guess how that went.
That seems ridiculous.
I mean I can understand that some communities might be legit triggered by certain words, but just implement the filter between that instance and the users of that instance.
Imposing it on all instances would be insane. If you don't like the words that other instance are showing then don't use that instance. That's the strength of the fediverse concept to me, policies tailored to the community that's on an instance.
Check the user's extension. He's on ML posting to a discussion on WORLD. It makes perfect sense because unless the instance admins specifically block an instance then any instance's users can post to any other instance community. That's what Federation means. We're all on individual instances that create a larger connected whole. That's why the instance the user picks decides what they can post and where to.
Sorry to be that guy, but for clarity I believe at least for Lemmy that describes a blacklist configuration. Other option is similar where no instances are federated unless explicitly added to a white list like hexbear (?)
That is plausible but defeats the entire point of Federation in the first place. It makes sense for Hexbear to control the narrative their viewers see, though.
