language_not_allowed? - eviltoast

Sometimes I get language not allowed when I try to reply to a post or message. Seems odd given that the post is in English.

    Yeah that happens to me sometimes too. Sometimes I don’t even know what word they don’t like me using.

    They should tell you. But I’m guessing from my experiences that it isn’t my language, it’s a bug.

      It never occurred to me that it might be a filter for bad language. Is that a thing? I’m skeptical. I think you’re right that it’s just a bug. Don’t know if it’s Connect or Lemmy that has the bug though.

        I thought it was just a “you can’t call that dude a cunt” feature that subs can opt in our out of and they were just making sure I wasn’t offending anyone.

          Certain instances, such as Lemmy.ml, uses a filter that censors swear words but that’s different from this issue. My other comment in the thread explains the issue.
