The censorship only happen in lemmy.ml. If you look a the exact comment in another instance (e.g. lemmy.world/comment/8291179 ), it’s not censored at all. Lemmy.ml is probably applying censorship directly in their local database.
As I’ve been noticing it more across lemmy, what word did you type that got changed to “removed”?
The one I’ve seen is a swear but most others aren’t censored, and it seems to be an automated thing.

lemmy.ml has some absolute draconian censorship. The word that was censored was b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t. (hopefullly it doesnt catch that). It"s also quickly going full blown tankie.
If you want an instance that doesn’t censor stuff like a club penguin chat and isn’t run by people who regard Joseph Stalin as their personal hero then a good one to try is sh.itjust.works. I only use lemmy.world because it’s the only one I could sign up for when I did. If I signed up now then I would probably go for sh.itjust.works or lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Damn, that sucks but thanks for the response. So far that brings the list to 3 words and no rationale or common theme save for one that is a modern slur.
For reference, my list so far: 1: removed (B word for female dogs) 2: removed (R word, derogatory for people with handicaps) 3: bullshit (B-u word for literal bovine turds)
