EDIT: @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:

Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: (​)

Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.

Good, I was getting fed up with being told over there that Canadians are useless and can't make a difference... this just tells me they're worried because we ARE making a difference🍁

Woah...Reddit is anti-Canada? Honestly Reddit has always given me bad vibes, and from the sounds of things it's just getting worse...

Not sure where they're all coming from, but there's this group who are there just to harass Canadians and they've been noticeably growing in numbers. One recent post was a very detailed, well-written plan about how the US is going to take over Canada, step by step. So it's not just small-time nonsense anymore. It's bad.

Reddit is a horrible place

That zero-width hack doesn't seem to work:

len("Le()mmy")
8

len("(Lemmy)")
7

Wait how high am I? The example on top returns a length one higher than the example on bottom, because it has a non-printable character in there right?

I'd just post something like:

I'll be shadowbanned for posting an actual link or mentioning the full name, but if you google "Lem reddit alternative" you'll get a lot of hits directing you the good place. Good luck, and see ya on the other side!

If it weren't working your code wouldn't count an additional character on the first string.

Anyway, this is the character., as it seems that deleting the first parenthesis also deletes the ZWJ.

Yeah we don't need Reddit to advertise Lemmy. I don't use reddit and reddit is obviously guarded against competitors since they're a corporation. I guess discord would be a better way to advertise Lemmy since it's not direct competition. So I guess post Lemmy links there

I just got shadow banned for commenting on a political meme literally 'welcime to Trump's america' boom eleven year account shadowbab that day I think I got reported. oh well, what a dumpster fire site. I should've seen the writing on the wall when they banned third party apps. God knows how much data they've collected on me.

anyways happy to be here permanently is there a list of the top communities here?
