I'll be scrolling through lemmy world and occasionally I'll see comments where a word in them has been replaced with removed. Usually from context it's early a swear word, normal stuff not slurs.

Is this a lemmy.world censorship thing? A lemmy wide thing? I doubt it has anything to do with my app, unless Jerboa is censoring specific words.

Anyone else experiencing this?

One thing I found out is if you type your lemmy password it censors that too, see: ********************* isn't that a great feature you should try it

Nah it doesn't blank out your credit card number unless it's followed by cvv number and expiration date - I think it even encrypts it if you enter a 5 digit billing zip code
