        Why is there even a profanity filter? I understand it for slurs but who cares if somebody says a swear word?

          We had a bunch of new accounts created that immediately hurled abuse at another user. It got us briefly defederated from a few instances. We are using the profanity filter to raise those kinds of post to our attention so we can deal with them rapidly.

          Once we are sure the new account is behaving itself, the filter is turned off. We don’t care if you swear, as long as it’s in line with the code of conduct.

          We do, the library I am using isn’t the best. If you know of a good rust lib for profanity checking, feel free to share.

          But we are kinda okay with it being a bit over-eager. It only applies to new accounts, and I am actively reverting the messages if its an error. Its scaling okay for now.

          Just wasnt fast enough in this case.
