THANK G*D YOU PROTECTED ME FROM THIS E**L WORD
Yeah the self censoring is fucking crazy. We're on this platform to escape that bullshit, and then it still comes fucking back?
That's ass. The picture itself doesn't even censor the word.
That's arse, surely.
Don’t call me, Surely!!
is the # itself a censored tag?
Do you see a hashtag in the post as a social tag? original OP (on LinkedIn) did not include any. Just the image of a hashtag, and that's uncensored.
so censoring excludes this post from the tag chain too 🤷
THANK G!D YOU G*T THE J+KE IN A MEME C$MMUNITY!!!
what's funny about self-censoring?
Ask The Count
I think you ment "The c*nt"
I think you meant "meant".
No, I meant m*t.
It's considered stupid because it's catering to big Capitalism and their platforms like TikTok that mess with your views because you are using controversial words.
So it's expected to meet some resistance when you're on Lemmy.
Nobody will care if you self-censor in a reasonable way, like simply not saying the word, or using euphemisms like goshdarn.
But writing f*ck is ridiculous
This is like those people who argue that it's really punk to be conservative, because "woke" is mainstream or something.
Has to be a rage bait, there is no other way.
