The slur filter way

(.*(\n)*Hi.*[nN]icole.*[fF]ediverse [cC]hick(.|\n)*) Is what we are using on dbzer0 right now. It previews all of nicole’s messages as just “removed”.

Why such hacky fixes? Well truth is, due to lemmy’s subpar filtering we really can’t do much about this currently. At most these just repel from the potential harm of nicole’s messages.

    It’s even influenced calculators. Anytime you type “divide by zero” in a calculator, it gets censored, showing “ERROR” instead of the truth. It’s getting out of hand.
