Our use of chat doesn’t require a lot of profanity filtering; we have a small user base we expect to be respectful. But I still wanted to block some words, so I went through your default list and found some very strange blocked words and phrases.
Everyone’s use case is different, but for our marketplace we would have had some strange reactions if these words were replaced by asterisks.
I don’t want to debate what should or should not be in this list. But I’d recommend revisiting this list - it doesn’t feel like it was intentionally crafted. “Canada” is a clear example of a confusing inclusion.
