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…
Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat
Unless you’re on Lemmy.world.
What’s the deal with .world?
They censor no-no words, you’ll occasionally see removed in a comment from a Lemmy.world account.
They’re also emotional children that ban or defederate anyone who disagrees with them.
Basically, they’re reddit v2.
Hexbear was an absolute shitshow when they defederated from it so I don’t blame them. It’s now merely a shitmonologue. I’m pissed about dbzero, though. Is the word filter a real thing? Because I’ve been baiting people into acting out their malignant racist fantasies through promises of word filters and I’d hate to know that they exist in some capacity.
I think they just ublocked the dbzero. Or at least I saw a post about it recently saying they’ve unblocked the piracy communities. I assume that’s what you’re referring to.
That’s genuinely good news. The unprompted piracy censorship was just weird.
Yeah I’m torn here, absolutely fuck hexbear and Lemmygrad, but also, fuck that heavy censorship garbage right back to Facebook where it belongs.
Function first. Hexbear users on hexbear aren’t used to responding to people without reaction image barrages or endless effectively semantical arguments, and most people outside hexbear aren’t fans of that. Defederating the troll instance is just downright reasonable, not even getting into politics. They’ve chilled a bit since the initial excitement over federation. A. Bit.
The word filter is very much a thing, yes.
I’m going to need someone from .world to reply with a few examples of censored words to be sure. Anything from ****** to ****.
This post is on lemmy.world so you can observe what is censored from my comment for yourself.
Suicide Dead Kill Terrorism Shit Fuck Ass Piss Dick Pussy Cock Cunt Dildo Rape Motherfucker Porn Transgender Lesbian Gay Bisexual
What do we have now? I left out racist slurs because I don’t feel the need to use those in any typical situation.
Biatch, r-tard, there’s a few others.
bitch & retard?
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?
Can you say…all words on Lemmy?
Can you say any phrase from the combination of words on Lemmy?
But that’s about it. And god forbid you have differing ideology
There’s Lemmygrad if you’re that kind of guy… But touching grass is available too.
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.
Oh no! People might challenge my opinions! The horror!
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.
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?
A far right Lemmy instance.
Technically they’re far left (Tankies) but they don’t act that much different from far right in terms of behavior (such as their abusive and disruptive trolling).
They’re far right cosplaying leftists.
There is a language filter still that any admin can put words into.
But it’s not hard coded into the source code
Yes, no predefined list ships in the code, just the ability to add words to the list.
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.
We already have the real words. Censoring yourself is bending over to accept it.
It’s specifically defying the censorship already imposed.
Everyone else is circle jerking about the censorship, meanwhile, I’m wondering how murder, rape, suicide, sex, and lesbians all came up in a bumble chat.
Look, I had a busy weekend, okay
“IF YOU DONT HAVE LE$BIAN SEGGS WITH ME ILL UNALIVE MYSELF!”
They were talking about chainsaw man
Cannot resist bashposting:
~ $ bian='nd me money pls' ~ $ echo le$bian lend me money pls$ bian='an your face against DEEZ NUTS'
I had this happen in real life.
A friend of a friend died of cancer complications. I posted a rest in peace type message on Facebook without details.
The next time I saw my mother she asked “I saw your post. Did your friend unalive herself…?”. It felt SO insulting and demeaning for her to ask that AND to ask like that.
Okay, we need to stop letting Youtube police our langauge
langauge
Good try
We don’t need no education, we don’t need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Thot control*
This is tiktok though.
Is that a gauge for LANs?
No but actually yes.
Honestly, a tiktokker and a 4channer sound like the perfect couple, at least from the POV as an outside observar. grabs popcorn
That’s like shipping a mature coomercel with a school girl
Sounds like something a 4channer would greentext about.
I’m not sure you and I have the same definition of “perfect”
Preventing people from saying “lesbian” sounds homophobic to me.
CPC regularly disappear gay and lesbian people. Back in 1996 they just publicly executed them.
Thats why I find it insane when lgbtq+ people defend China. Like bruh, you would go to the work camps if you lived there
Well it is TikTok. So that tracks
Omg…
The terms originated from online censorship but to me using these terms IRL is very similar to people who use internet slang out loud. Might not be censoring herself but just so used to using those terms. It’s annoying either way though.
I caught myself saying LOL the other day.
Be careful before it spreads to the *

It actually refers to the gyrocopter in the game rather than a helicopter. This has been another…
Yep, then when they were in wow, roflcopter just continued to spread.

I’ve said stuff like IRL before I’m sure. I didn’t mean to sound judgemental but doing it constantly all the time would irritate me TBH IMO FFS.
I fucking hate people censoring themselfs. Like what the fuck does “I ****** ***** ****** *****” mean?
Saw this often back then on Reddit. People wanting to curse, but the writing f*ck. If you want to curse, curse. If you think it would be too rude to spell out, just fucking don’t.
Same vibes as Hentai with blurred titties.
isn’t that goofy-ass japanese censorship laws or something
hentai are Animation right? so they have a blurry texture for tits or do they blur it after?
I think they blur ir after. Just Japanese law prevents the showing of genitalia. Not other parts of the body. So only the vagina and penis are normally censored. However is some cases the asshole is censored too but it’s not as often I don’t think.
Asshole has to be censored when it’s being penetrated afaik, though sometimes they just censor it along with the rest for whatever reason, probably less effort to draw.
After, which is really dumb because a lot of artists are spending time making the art only to have to put a black bar over their work for no real logical reason.
I think that’s mostly when people use speech to text. I know gboard automatically censors words like that.
It’s a setting you can change
I know, but I’m just explaining why it happens. Most people just leave it default.
For sure. The only time it’s appropriate is when quoting but you can’t use the exact text for whatever reason.

I automatically have zero respect for anyone using that chinese spyware trash.
Gotta love when your orientation is censored
It’s Chinese spyware that was specifically and provably designed to dumb down Westerners even more and make the Chinese smarter by specifically showing certain content to people in those countries. Americans then fell for it harder than a billion Trojan horses and remain locked in it’s grasp. That one small app took a ton of my respect for humanity away.
That’s been proven not to be true, tiktok us matches all the other us social media and tiktok china matches all the other Chinese social media.
US social media is full of greed, scams, flexing, crypto pyramid schemes, and lowest common denominator trash because that’s what American culture has been overwhelmed with for decades - did tiktok shit over the history channel? Did they invent MTV? Is it there fault the only movies that are made are comic book repeats?
Just finding a foreigner to blame has been an incredibly popular strategy so through history but it never actually solves the problem at hand it just obscures it so no one ever tries anything effective
If that’s been proven then you should be able to cite the source of the proof right? Please go ahead.
Foreigner…? Reading this as a non-Chinese and non-US American is quite baffling. Are these the only two countries in your world?
So you really not understand what I’m saying? I’m also from neither of those countries but the conversation is about them, acting like China is the evil influence that makes American social media bad is silly when all other American social media is the same.
STFU
Idk man. I don’t use TikTok and probably never will, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect people to be able to segregate their entertainment from their intellect.
I’m surprised people downvote that idea. Part of the issue was the hordes of people of… lower intellect flooding into public forums to begin with. Segmenting them out into their own little zoo seems ideal to filter the noise out more effectively.
I meant that it should be possible to appreciate harmlessly stupid or silly/vapid humour without it degrading your ability to also reason critically about serious stuff.
provably designed to dumb down Westerners
Ok, prove it please.
Good reads, thanks!
How does one pronounce le$bian?
Le dollar bien (French accent)
The money good
With zero shame, apparently
This is probably how it sounds to some older millenials or gen x’ers when I, a younger millenial talk in meme references
