EDIT: @[email protected] 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.
What's a reddit?
Oh, yea, that dumpster fire I walked away from 2 years ago. It still exists?
Sadly, yes.
Not gonna lie, I was only there to encourage people to get off Reddit.
So what's up with "not gonna lie"? I've been hearing it for over a decade, and I hear it from known liars, people I trust, and all the shades of in-between. This is the first time I've seen it on Lemmy.
If someone I trust says it, I trust them less.
If a liar says it, I know they're about to lie. It's the "I'm not racist but" of liars.
I worked with a woman for years that said "not gonna lie" roughly 30 times a day. I liked her, I just hated that so I could be biased.
I realize this is completely derailing the post but do you have any insight on this phrase?
It's only there because there's some odd contradiction between the first and second part; someone who considers the existence of Reddit "sad" wouldn't be expected to be there. @[email protected]'s reasoning is in the right direction, with the "something shameful" being "to be in Reddit".
That said I'm a bit too prone to spam discourse markers like this. Or like "that said".
OP uses it in a weird way here, usually I see it used to admit something shameful, which you're more inclined to believe
That's at least a good reason to be there!
Make sure to wash your eyes afterwards if you’re using the redesign or app.
Old reddit all the way through!
What the fuck is a Reddit?
Some really shitty site. Going downhill day by day. To the point even your typical user is looking for alternatives.
Sounds really complicated who wants to use that trash!
