The SQL way

https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.ca/post/40761824, thank you to @[email protected]! Note this does not work with regex patterns.

The slur filter way

(.*(\n)*Hi.*[nN]icole.*[fF]ediverse [cC]hick(.|\n)*) Is what we are using on dbzer0 right now. It previews all of nicole's messages as just "removed".

Why such hacky fixes? Well truth is, due to lemmy's subpar filtering we really can't do much about this currently. At most these just repel from the potential harm of nicole's messages.

Are you trying to keep me and my girlfriend apart?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Fuck you, she's mine. In fact, i snuck in to these solutions an exception for my account. So i can keep her DMs all to myself!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh man I’ve slid into her DMs and another rather uncomfortable place.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

You're both gonna be cucks soon. That proud girl is mine.

Freedom of speech violation

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Too bad; lemmy.dbzer0.com has been couped, we are no longer a freezepeach instance, we are now an autocratic instance that bans the word removed

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's even influenced calculators. Anytime you type "divide by zero" in a calculator, it gets censored, showing "ERROR" instead of the truth. It's getting out of hand.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, db0 invented division errors :D

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

The reason the errors exist is to mask the TRVTH of db0...

My hostile takeover of all lemmy instances is inevitable; feddit.org is next >:)

Is your German good enough?

If that's a freedom of speech violation, then so is your email provider's spam filter.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

That's why I have disabled the spam filter.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Fun fact: You can see how dirty those "Free Speech" billionaires like Musk and Zuckerberg are playing you just by looking at how many free speech of small businesses selling you viagra via personal message they are blocking. A free speech absolutionist wouldn't block a business proposal

I didn't realize dbzer0 was a government.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

He is. I pay my taxes to him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Greedy regex always makes me uneasy. Yeah, it's super unlikely that that combination would appear otherwise, but it could if a couple of people were talking about the topic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

It was even more aggressive before we just removed on dbzer0 lol. It's too much work but hopefully the new lemmy update can help.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Regex probably isn't the best use case here, as the spammer can pretty easily change the format. They're already trying to do so with random spaces and stuff.

A better option would be to have the option to disable DMs from instances that do not require email/sign on approval requirements. Not sure if that's already a feature, but I can't imagine it would be a fun one to implement.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not possible for lemmy, and it would be hacky to implement for us (db0 doesn't really like the SQL version) so we're sticking to the slur filter for now unfortunately. I've adapted it, and it's very extreme; but should work for all types of cases for nicole.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeash. Fair enough I suppose.
