The joy of regex: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/b18ea3e0cc620c3f97f9804c09b92f193809b846/config/config.hjson#L8-L12

You'd think they'd at least alphabetize their censored slurs so you could read their code easier.

(fag(g|got|tard)?\b|cock\s?sucker(s|ing)?|ni((g{2,}|q)+|[gq]{2,})[e3r]+(s|z)?|mudslime?s?|kikes?|\bspi(c|k)s?\b|\bchinks?|gooks?|bitch(es|ing|y)?|whor(es?|ing)|\btr(a|@)nn?(y|ies?)|\b(b|re|r)tard(ed)?s?)

Asshole is absent.
Bitch is censored.
Cocksucker is censored.
Cunt is absent.
Many other basics are absent.
I'm still certain shill, sealion, and liar are not name-calling.

What is mudslime?

Tyrannical n!ççér5 can never kill creative expressions.

So much effort could have been put into adding actually useful things (metatags, archival tools, etc).

I wonder whether their ideology prohibits unit testing this.

The units who coded it surely tested it.

read their code easier.

Perl? Regex? DEFY!
