I think you did a great job distilling it. I can see many parallels with other communities I know too.

You just described the Esperanto community 😅

First thing I thought of when reading OP haha

Steven Seagull!!!

Sadly, that would have to be one huge island.

They didn’t specify box-sizing, so it will default to inner.

Some of the best instances are those focused on a subject. I especially like programming.dev, mander.xyz (science) and slrpnk.net (solar punk movement or “practical utopianism”).

This filter was very controversial, especially because at first it was hardcoded into Lemmy itself, and the devs initially were insistent in keeping it that way. Fortunately they eventually allowed it to be configurable by instance, which is a much more sensible approach. Especially considering other languages and even some english variants. And while most people like you and me appreciate the intent, many are still unsure if this is a good approach to fight the problem. It does seem hard to avoid a lot of silly false positives. I remember someone mentioning being really confused by this “Sremovedew Valley” mentioned everywhere, until they realized it was just Stardew Valley being mangled by the filter.

Lemmy has a slur filter regex. In case you’re curious, you can see an instance’s regex using this url (replacing the domain as needed):

CTRL+F “slur_filter”

Touché!

More like 24. Low Earth Orbit is just hanging out in the porch. :)

This one is hard to explain to people from the 2020s
