Comment on Piefed admin settings that allow to enable or disable content filters (they are disabled by default, see body for details)
I only remember Lemmy forcing its hard coded “slur filter” on all the instances.
That was a temporary measure very early in development, when moderation tooling was still very incomplete. This was to avoid ending up like Voat. Once mod tools were implemented, the slur filter became optional. Simple as that.
