Is anyone else seeing swear words censored in comments? (lemmy.ml)

I'll be scrolling through lemmy world and occasionally I'll see comments where a word in them has been replaced with removed. Usually from context it's early a swear word, normal stuff not slurs.

Is this a lemmy.world censorship thing? A lemmy wide thing? I doubt it has anything to do with my app, unless Jerboa is censoring specific words.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Easiest way to find out: shit fuck bitch asshole

Can you read those or are they censored?

The one after fuck is removed.

What an odd choice for which word to censor.

It's the one in the list that's derogatory towards a specific group (women, in this case)
