Noticed not many people use curse words.
So… why the fuck not?

Lemmy has a hard-coded swear word filter that replaces a number of words with removed. Not seeing words makes you less likely to use them yourself.
That depends on the instance, on lemmy.zip I don’t have any filters to my knowledge.
We do as far as I know. But more for actual slurs (like homophobic ones).
Generally I’m against filters, if someone writes a bad word I want to see it and then decide for myself if I report and/or block them.
it used to have it hardcoded in software but I believe they made it an instance option a bit before the reddit exodus
