WHY IS THE TITLE CENSORED!? THIS IS THE INTERNET - YOU CAN SAY RULE , LOSER!
You do realize you can say rule, right? We’re all adults here, stop censoring yourself. Sigh… The sterilization of the internet continues. Gotta make everything family friendly for the ad pushers
This is America’s fault
Unironically true
Sure it’s meant the mean “rule”? I thought it’s “role” or “ryle” or something mundane but talking about rules on lemmy???
The one rule of the original 195 subreddit was to post before you left.
I get that people don’t censor “rule” in this vulgar age but please censor (sub)r*ddit! Don’t give the kids stupid ideas!
Seriously though, as someone who doesn’t swear I really don’t see why I should quote swears when they don’t add value to the statement. I really do think that swearing is overused.
i think one problem is that people don’t know how to swear, since a lot of them haven’t grown up with it.
you gotta fuckin’ use it for some god damn emphasis
It is annoying though. Fuck.
s*rry…
My problem isn’t if you post OC that you censored, my problem is when people are posting another’s OC that didn’t censor any cuss words.
Like if you’re reposting a 4-panel comic here that explicitly had cuss words and then you censored it. FUCK THAT.
Same applies to reposting a tweet or whatever.
Tl;Dr If you’re posting something that already has uncensored cuss words in it, stop being a bitch and censoring shit.
Oops
I understand the assignment boss.
Who gives a sh*t, people can post whatever they want
agreed! people are free to call censorship fucking stupid, and downvote it if applicable.
I’m gonna be honest I find it hilarious how mad people get about it. I might start censoring for fun lmao
Throw in some speelling errors and watch people go f**king insane.
*sum
You fucking moron they misspelled airrors not some
Woah think of the kids here who have to read that kind of language.
Fuck*ng, please.
*spealing
Looking over these comments, you’d be a fool not to lol
I never really understood why people self censor their comments at all. I can’t think of any major social media site that gives a shit. The YouTube algorithm cares, but that’s just for the videos themselves.
I don’t use tik tok so I might be wrong but I think that platform is the main driver of it. My wife uses it and says they have to censor even non-swears like “kill” or “sex” or their video/comment could be removed.
Fuck everything about that.
It’s very common on most social media for comments with swears to get shadow removed. Personally I often resort to non-ASCII lookalike characters instead, because fսсk those sһіttу censorship rules. But it’s also a lot easier to just self-censor.

Interesting, got a link?
I regularly use this page.
Unfortunately it looks like the font lemmy-ui uses really fucked up the ‘h’ lookalike:
on my phone when I wrote that comment last night I thought I could just about see the difference between the lookalike ‘u’ and a real ‘u’ because it wasn’t the same height as the (real) ‘c’ next to it. But I may have been imagining that.
They’re called Homoglyphs.
Whoa that slur will get you shadow banned from some social media sites
Yea I fuck**g hate it
lm*o
I f**king love how censoring curse words has become the new c*rsing for the internet!
Used to be that cursing was a way to show your disdain for having restrictions placed on your freedom of expression. Now cursing without censorship is considered “polite internet speech” and adding an * is offensive and uncouth. Your right to express yourself how you choose be d*mned!
The irony is too good!
I thought it was to get around algorithms suppressing things that aren’t considered “family friendly.”
Im pretty sure they can find a way around censors. My assumption is for sending a meme to someone’s grandma who is sensitive to swears.
I think censoring t** wrong fucking words is funnier
Frankly, how d*re you
A fun consequence is the effect that any removed or censored words are effectively vulgar and sexual.
You f*** in the ****
You fill in the gaps
If you do this, I will never not make fun of you.
At this point why not just have an uncensoring bot that corrects this kind of stuff
I genuinely would like that. I do not want to use a web controlled by pro-advertiser policies or pearl-clutching daftness.
Weird trend across all platforms the last few years. In the days of broadcast media the FCC could regulate content. Then advertisers privatized the role. Then the Internet revived the free for all of public access. Then somebody worked some kind of Queen Victoria magic on content creators to get them to both write and visually bleep parts of words on behalf of the advertisers and publishers.
Put the swears back, kthxbi
H@nd h0lding.
True, the selfcensorship on lemmy is fucking disg*sting at this point!
