    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
