    It’s a social media thing. Supposedly posts get deprioritized by the algorithm if they contain “family unfriendly” words like kill or drug references. No idea if it’s actually true or just a myth, but it’s why users edit out innocuous words in these screenshots.

      I think the correct term is “advertiser unfriendly”.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if that was true though.
