 Shit! That’s the client I use too! Best one IMO for IOS. 

I don’t care about Monero per se, but what other words will go missing from my feed if a developer doesn’t like them? 

I guess if a client wanted to reduce spam it would block various words, but should be opt-in rather than default IMO. You opt-in and easily check the updated list of blocked words. And if the client goes too far, you dump it for another. 

But very dangerous to have it done behind the scenes without the users knowing. 
 
 Nostur doesn’t mute or change hashtags it just adds beautiful emojis when displaying them on the client side. 
 Why a turd emoji with monero? 😒 
 I see, so if I type #Monero, it’ll show up with an emoji, and I’ll know it’s a flagged word? 

And if eventually it’s done with words I care about it and distorts my experience I’ll know to leave?

That doesn’t sound as bad, TBH. 
 The dev is an idiot who thinks he has the right to alter what you post because his personal opinions and biases are more valuable than whatever you want to express. It's the behavior of a mental 8 year old.
