Can't stand it. Censoring yourself so some random ass company can make more ad revenue.

Fuck that.

[-] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 116 points 11 months ago

Come to Lemmy. We'll let you say "fuck".

[-] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 32 points 11 months ago

But not removed. Have to say B!tch instead....

Not like Lemmy doesn't have a controversial slur filter itself.

[-] the_stormcrow@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

Which makes no sense. How are the words picked? Is there a sliding scale, or an objectionable meter somewhere? Who decided that b!tch should be censored, but not cunt or skank?

But that's about it. And god forbid you have differing ideology

[-] Robaque@feddit.it 21 points 11 months ago

What ideology are you talking about? Sure, you might just be a salty liberal or propertarian, but such vaguery could easily be a dogwhistle for something sinister.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 17 points 11 months ago

There's Lemmygrad if you're that kind of guy... But touching grass is available too.

[-] omgarm@feddit.nl 8 points 11 months ago

Is the exploding heads instance still alive? There you had some very different opinions.

Fun fact: until not too long ago there was a language filter built right into Lemmy's source code.

I actually dig it a bit. They're not really censoring themselves, they're still talking about corn and seggs just in a way the app doesn't yet recognize. Take that advertisers!

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 14 points 11 months ago

Yeah, they're literally bypassing being censored. They're continuing to talk about the shit that the company doesn't want them to. It's the opposite of what people are bitching about.

[-] TheDankHold@kbin.social 13 points 11 months ago

The term “ungood” also lets you talk about bad things but that doesn’t make it not newspeak. The corporate sanitizing and infantilizing of speech is not a good thing. It’s not the teen’s problem though, it’s the corporations and their desire for a sanitized public square they can plaster ads over.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 10 points 11 months ago

Yes, exactly. The problem is corporate sanitization not the adapted language norms by teens.

[-] candybrie@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Ungood was given by the state. This is stuff people are coming up with in defiance of the state/corporation/censorer. That distinction matters, I think.
