It's to get around auto-censorship on social media sites.
What are these awful web sites?
So far as I know Facebook and Instagram.
You can't say "kill" or "violence" on Facebook and Instagram? That's some pretty heavy-handed censorship.
If it gets reported it can get taken down, yes.
TikTok.
But this is Lemmy so why are they still posting them?
It's called a repost. People are allowed to repost stuff they find on other sites.
Doesn't mean they should repost censored content. Respect that this is a different, freer format and go find the uncensored version.
Such a version may not exist if the meme was originally posted to Facebook.
That's troubling.
Make your own. Become god.
So, you can't use the word "kill" or "violence"? Or show a swastika? Even if it's anti-Nazi?
Sounds like the solution is to just not use that social network.
