Why, in the name of god, does Lemmy's obsession with censorship include the word "jerk?"
It's my personal choice. I want to be able to show the content of my posts and comments to anyone (edit: not only adults or unsupervised peers).
Pretty dumb, honestly. If anything it just adds a Streisand effect to it as people try to figure out what's censored.
Not that censoring it has any value whatsoever. Like if a child sees that, so fucking what?
If I included cussing in "[YTP] Intoducing Apple Pro", then I wouldn't have been able to show it in my self introduction presentation in a high school class. I can't guarantee that cleanness wouldn't have a similar benefit for this meme.
