Can be a good alternative? Btw, it's written in Rust. :D

The only reason I chose Postmill over Lemmy was Lemmy doesn't function properly with javascript disabled.

It's certainly a better looking and better functioning site/software, but I didn't feel like forcing the use of javascript to interact with the site.

Lemmy has a built-in "slurs" filter that blocks you from posting dozens of "slurs" (including words like twat). It is very free speech-unfriendly software.

Jeeze, that's hilarious(ly) bad.

Even though the creator of postmill is super against free speech and is for heavy handed censorship herself, I'll give her props for not trying to hardcode or even make a filter a default option on postmill.

The feature exists and is literally called, "censorship" on postmill with the discription:

This tool lets you ban phrases of text from being posted. It can be used to prevent spam, or to suppress dissent.

Though I always thought it was tounge in cheek humor and not serious...
