Can't stand it. Censoring yourself so some random ass company can make more ad revenue.
Fuck that.
Come to Lemmy. We'll let you say "fuck".
But not removed. Have to say B!tch instead....
Bitch?
Lmao nice we can say the word bitch. Based as fuck, bitch
LMFAO, which instances ban words so I can avoid making accounts there?
lemmy.ml is definitely one
I made my account in blahaj zone which is the best uncensored instance haha!
Yeah bitch
You called?
Unless you're on Lemmy.world.
What's the deal with .world?
Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat
Not like Lemmy doesn't have a controversial slur filter itself.
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
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.
There's Lemmygrad if you're that kind of guy... But touching grass is available too.
Is the exploding heads instance still alive? There you had some very different opinions.
They moved to Nostr since there they can't be defederated and shut their Lemmy instance down, I bet they'll later claim that us or the ADL shut them down because conspiracy theories are juicier.
Oh no! People might challenge my opinions! The horror!
Fun fact: until not too long ago there was a language filter built right into Lemmy's source code.
No mandarin allowed?
hexbear begins lighting torches
what is a hexbear?
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!
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.
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.
Yes, exactly. The problem is corporate sanitization not the adapted language norms by teens.
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.
