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
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
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.
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!
I think it’s funny that some Lemmy users get upset about censoring. In real life I try not to swear much, so that when I do it’s more impactful. Also censoring the word still gets the meaning across.
I’m very much of the opinion of “shit or get off the pot”. If you don’t want to swear, cool, don’t. Censoring it reminds me of all the exhausting nonsense and theatre related to “think of the children” (and more recently, “think of the advertisers”). None of that stuff does a lick of good for anyone, except perhaps the swindlers pushing it.
swear edging
💀💀💀
Personally I just hate the brain disruption of partially censored things. Whole words, sure, my brain smoothly fills it in, but asterisks in the middle of words fuck with it. I don’t have any problem with someone not wanting to swear, but the concept of someone not wanting to swear and then doing so anyways and half assedly covering it is bizarre to me
True, the selfcensorship on lemmy is fucking disg*sting at this point!
It is annoying though. Fuck.
s*rry…
Yea I fuck**g hate it
Why in front of the kid? With the r*ling? All ya gotta do is say “earmuffs” to him… “earmuffs”. Then you can say “Fuck, shit, rule” whatever you want!
Put the swears back, kthxbi
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?
They’re called Homoglyphs.
Whoa that slur will get you shadow banned from some social media sites
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.
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 daft pro-advertiser policies or pearl-clutching daftness.
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.
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 understand the assignment boss.
I’m gonna be honest I find it hilarious how mad people get about it. I might start censoring for fun lmao

Looking over these comments, you’d be a fool not to lol
Oops
Fuck swearwords!
If you do this, I will never not make fun of you.
Are the n-word and r-word swears? I’m all for censoring those.
Slurs are different than swears and I think they should be censored.
Agreed. I was thinking more on it and realized the same when reading another comment.
It’s pretty silly that using them in a discussion about slurs would upset enough people that it’s better not to.
If you actually use them as slurs, censoring doesn’t really make you a better person. Telling someone “you’re a fucking r-word” isn’t really all that much nicer than writing out the full thing…
I could see someone posting a screen grab where another used a slur and censoring it accordingly.
Yeah, I guess there are two ways to view these words…
In one you see the use of the word as a slur as a bad act, in the other you see the word as damaging in itself, like having to watch nsfl gore or something.
If you feel the word itself is damaging to see, censoring it makes sense. If you just care about people not using slurs, seeing the word itself is fine.
H@nd h0lding.
