I’ve just removed a post that had c*&t in the title. I’m not going to get into specific rules, but I don’t want that language in post titles. In comments etc in context, fine. But post titles are displayed to all users without the possibility of being filtered.

Please think of others when posting.

      I will wager that there are a bunch of Aussie Lemmy and kbin instances.

      checks for ones with open signups

      https://lemmy.perthchat.org

      https://lemmyngton.au

      https://lemmy.buzz

      There’s probably room in Australia for both an instance with and an instance without “cunt” in titles. In fact, with the existing instances and this one, one has a sufficient number of instances to cover all permutations of policy on each of at least three profane words being permitted in titles.

      On the off change you’re not joking… I believe it is unAustralian to be deliberately offensive and rude… which I consider out of context swearing (such as this) to be.

        While Australia as a culture has a much higher threshold for swearing than most, and certainly the prudish Americans, I suppose federation means people will see the titles of Aussie.zone threads in their feeds so your decision makes sense.

        At the same time I’d hate to see us get all uptight about swearing in routine discussions.

        In summary: Swearing in titles: fuck no. Swearing in comments: fuck yes! :)

    How do posts marked NSFW work? Would it not make sense to require those with swear words or adult content to be marked NSFW. Those that don’t wish to see would have it filtered, but it doesn’t restrict the freedom of speech of others. Sometimes expletives are appropriate.

              I second this. Be pedantic and specific. I’m still pretty new here and would like to know what’s acceptable before upsetting people. Let it be known though, that I’m still not used to the multitudes of different frameworks in different instances and the apps that access them that are popping up, so even if it’s in sidebar, there’s a very good chance I won’t see it because I’m absolutely never sure what instance or community/magazine/sub-instance I’m posting to or used to think about about it yet at all - it’s just: read, respond, repeat.

              I want to be appropriate and follow rules, but I think a lot of this stuff is gonna have to be tested organically and it’s better to have it written out explicitly beforehand. Don’t assume anything is intuitive or common knowledge.
