    Final edit, since the filter was fixed, here’s the correct URL:

    https://theappendix.net/issues/2013/10/local-history-feet-first

    An interesting article on the history of how Houston became like that, by a historian trying to walk through it:

    Edit: I dunno why, but part of the URL keeps getting removed? Some sort of filter?

    https://removedendix.net/issues/2013/10/local-history-feet-first

    The website is “the appendix dot net”, but “the app” part of the URL shows up as removed when I post it, never seen this

    Edit, test: here I am trying not write “the app” without a space: “removed” 😂

      Maybe the new slur filter was being used by your admins and they cocked it up? I can’t imagine why they’d want to censor “theapp”

        Do you think it’s an instance level thing? I want to post somewhere and ask. I never gave much thought to what instance I am on, I just kinda looked for a big one when I first learned about Lemmy

          If it’s the slur filter, then it’s an instance level thing yes. It’s not censored on my end, and it’s on lemmy.world, so I assume this is maybe a bad regex.

              I actually can’t see your URL, because it’s censored before being federated. However I can see me typing “theapp” on my end. However if I visit your instance it’s shown as removed
