What's with all the "removed?" (lemmy.ml)

I frequently see removed in a lot of posts and comments. I'm guessing there's some kind of filter at work? I checked my Voyager settings and I don't see that I've blocked any words, is this happening server side?

From context, it looks like the censored words are pretty common, and not especially potent, curse words. Is this really necessary?

I believe there is an automod that removes an archaic, but still occasionally properly used, term for a female dog and a couple other terms. Seems to be mostly a set of words whose common usage has its roots in bigotry.
