I saw the other day and even commented on it, now certain words will get things flagged as not safe for work, is that censorship?

My personal opinion is that in a way it is, I’d love to get you guys perspective.

I had pretty much given up on Voat, only checking it a couple times a week, but after the Q migration, have been back to checking it a few times a day.

I get the idea they are doing with the NSFW stuff and only on system subs, so seems like still risky to browse at work. Seems they would need to have some sitewide filter that correlates to your NSFW preference applied to ALL subs. Or better yet, don't filter, do replacement - nigger -> orc, fuck -> F@$! etc etc if your NSFW option is off.

I'm glad to see Putt is back and active. I think we at Poal were part of that. Our migration, though small, was noticed. I wish he would quit trying to fix shit that isn't broken or being requested / demanded by the community. And that site is still 1 car accident of major life change away from disappearing forever.
