I think I’ve finally figured it out based on what my sh.itjust.works account shows:
If you’re on a censored instance, all words will be blocked no matter what
If you’re on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a censored instance, that comment will still show up as removed
If you’re on a non-censored instance looking at a comment from a non-censored instance, the comment won’t be censored
When I’m on my sh.itjust.works profile, the comment by @Lazerbeams2@ttrpg.network isn’t censored, but mine still is. So, the censorship gets you both coming and going - no censored words can make it into a censored instance, and no censored words can make it out either.

Do me a favor and reply with the B-word. Maybe I can see it because it’s my own post.
I really do think it’s your instance, but here we go: removed
Yep, your comment shows up as removed for me. Thanks.
