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....
  
  Unless you're on Lemmy.world.
  
  Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat
  
  Not like Lemmy doesn't have a controversial slur filter itself.
  
  But that's about it. And god forbid you have differing ideology
  
  Can you say...all words on Lemmy?
- Fun fact: until not too long ago there was a language filter built right into Lemmy's source code.
  
  No mandarin allowed?
  
  There is a language filter still that any admin can put words into.
- 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.

My wife was telling me about how annoying it is that she'll try listening to new true crime podcasts and they'll shit like "unalived" instead of "killed". Comes across hella disrespectful to the victims.
- To be fair, it's pretty bleak to use someone's grisly murder as a means of entertainment. Our society is weird
  
  “Hey there all you horror sweeties, I’ve got a sloppy poppy oopy goopy murder of a three year old little girl brought to you by Squarespace”
  
  Humans have had a taste for the macabre at least for as long as we have written history. Public executions used to be a past time activity (even Jesus' crucifixion is told like it was a public show), the morgue of Paris was a tourist attraction, even the sanitised (and controversial) Body Worlds exhibition has no trouble finding an audience. Maybe what's weird is our relationship with death and putrefaction. It happens to everyone yet it's somehow in bad taste to talk about it.
  
  If I was murdered and the case went cold for a long time, you bet I'd want everyone hearing about it after the case finally gets solved. But that's just me.
- I get so annoyed listening to true crime stuff on YouTube these days and having the audio cut out any time a person uses the word suicide or rape, but not the gorey details of murder; no that's perfectly fine to hear every excruciating detail, but lord forbid your precious ears here the letters S-U-I-C-I-D-E in order.
  
  Don't listen to it on YouTube then.
- The percentage of women I know that are into murder porn is alarming to me.
  
  It's not (mostly, I can't speak for the weirdos out there) murder porn, though? For a while, it was a movement of almost solidarity with other women, because these stories could easily happen to us. So it was almost like listening to survival tips, as well as paying respects to those lost by trying to learn from their experiences. It probably wasn't a coincedence that the 'true crime wave' happened around the time of Me Too.
  And to soothe your mind, true crime as a 'fad' is dying quite a bit. People realized that, hey having a frivolous show where you clown and make cocktails or some shit while talking about real victims just isn't okay.
  Source: am a woman who was (and is) interested in true crime, and have spoken to many other women from different circles—and even states/cities—who were also interested in the topic.
  
  It's dangerously close to 100 in my experience

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

"says le$bian"
Really. Can you spell out phonetically how they say that?
- $bian is a variable but it wasn't set, so it's pronounced "le-undefined"
  
  Just le as in rm -rf $bian/
- Lecashbian?
  
  Le'dollarbian.
  *Tips fedora
- Le-dolla-be'in
  
  Not to be confused with L€sbians and £esbians in Europe.
  
  The actual way we've said it jokingly around here. ^
- Le cha-ching! bian
- "Lecashbian" could roll well off the tongue
  
  It's his the French refer to Le Caspian.
- Says he met her on bumble, so I assume she says it like "le$bian"
  inb4 prescriptivists coming here to say that writing something isn't "saying" it
- Le money sign bian

I'll never forget about 25 years ago cruising around some random chat rooms on mIRC and somebody asked me how the weather was and I said it was a bit chilly and I got instabanned with the message potty mouth... took me a good 5 minutes to workout wtf happened (bit ch)illy

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"

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 fck. 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.
  
  I think that's mostly when people use speech to text. I know gboard automatically censors words like that.
  
  For sure. The only time it's appropriate is when quoting but you can't use the exact text for whatever reason.
- N**** ***** **** *** **
  
  Did you just Rick roll us with stars?!

I automatically have zero respect for anyone using that chinese spyware trash.
- Agreed, I prefer American made spyware
  
  Chinese and Korean made phones, running American software, which was outsourced to India.
  What do I get if I catch em all?
- Why specify Chinese? Any private social media mobile app is spyware
  
  Made in china, under complete control of ccp as every big company in china is. It is very unfortunate that younger generation is essentially being raised by tiktok and its algorithm.
  Facebook is bad, no doubts about that, it's also unavoidable as the only social media for most people, and it's also not fun for most people. Tiktok on the other hand is interesting, it's captivating, the algorithm tailors it to you, microdoses you with dopamine. I'm sure that same algorithm can be, if desired, used to push pro-china/pro-russia/anti-west narratives to varying degrees of subtlety, tailor-made to each user, to further destabilize certain countries, united states included.
  Social media is dangerous, social media controlled by a potential enemy is dangerous on a whole another level.
- Ok Richard Stallman

Cannot resist bashposting:
bash

~ $ bian='nd me money pls' ~ $ echo le$bian lend me money pls
- bash
  
  $ bian='an your face against DEEZ NUTS'

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.
- This is tiktok though.
- Is that a gauge for LANs?
- No but actually yes.

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.

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.

Is this a joke? 4chan is the origin of candy ass censorship, it enforced coded slurs
- Jesus, I just remembered the people's champion and roody poo.
  
  I'm sorry
- Examples?

Languages evolving, to match the censorship, which means censorship will evolve as well. People want to express themselves

How does one pronounce le$bian?
- Le dollar bien (Fr*nch accent)
  
  Please censor Fr#nch it's offensive
  
  The money good
- With zero shame, apparently

Ah, are we going back to leet speak, again?

- t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m RIDES AGAIN

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
  
  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.
  
  provably designed to dumb down Westerners
  Ok, prove it please.

If I was in the market for a new companion the use of Tik-Tok would be a HARD pass for me.
- Same here. Guess we'll both be alone forever.
- Personally if I was starting over it would be TikTok AND Snapchat for sure. Worst two fucking apps ever made for humanity.
  
  There was a period of time where I felt somewhat left out for not having an instagram and snapchat. But these days I'm certain I made the right choice
- Roughly one quarter of united states citizens are automatically ruled out for you then
  
  Good.

This is probably how it sounds to some older millenials or gen x'ers when I, a younger millenial talk in meme references

realest story on 4chan

Anyone old enough to remember Ren and Stimpy and the episode where they found corn in the dresser? I didn't realize it was porn...and now porn is actually called corn. I'm too fucking old.
- I loved Ren and Stimpy but I don't remember whatever episode you're talking about.
  Do you remember the episode where Ren got split into the two opposite sides of his personality? His evil side, and his indifferent side.
  
  Huh, I don't remember OP's but I do remember this one!
- LMFAO, old ass coomers in this thread complaining when kids try to get around censorship
  
  The kids are creating corporate influenced newspeak that infantilizes serious topics instead of moving to a platform without censorship. Teen slang is great when it comes up naturally instead of because advertisers want to sanitize our thoughts so we only think about consuming products.

Cornography
- Farmers Only
  
  You don't have to be lonely...
  ..at farmersonly.corn
- Suddenly, a million Iowans scream out in ecstasy.

since when is lesbian a swear or a sensitive word?
- It is in China and Russia.
  
  then it gets censored in russia and china like they do for nearly all the videos that come from the west, no?

Sounds like this chick needs to delete tiktok

It's scary how we seem to be getting closer and closer to 1984.
- Newspeak is intended to make more complex thoughts impossible. This isn't newspeak; they're still talking about the topics, they're just using dumb filter workarounds.
  Though I do feel it'd be obnoxious to actually talk like this when not needed
  
  Though I do feel it’d be obnoxious to actually talk like this when not needed
  on the one hand, yes. on the other hand, my generation piloted the spoken use of "lol", "lmao", and their myriad variations in pronunciation. this strikes me as merely upholding that proud tradition.
  
  What is culture?
- Wasn't 1984 almost 40 years ago
  
  It's a book, I suggest you check out it's themes
- Not really? One is done for corporate profit. The other is the state.
  
  End result is the same for us though. It just ends up being someone different enforcing it.

Can we take the David Foster Wallace route and say "erased their own map" in place of suicide?
It just sounds cool.
- Or we can go Ursula Le Guin and say "waiving shifgrethor"

Is le$bian the newest LeJoke around?
- I just want to know how she was pronouncing it IRL that conveyed that. "Lee dollar-sign be-anne"?

My millennial partner (admittingly adopted the lingo late) approaches strangers with doggos and says things like what a Heckin good pupper, who's a smoll boi etc.
Not surprised at zoomers doing this. Its just more funny on twitter when someone says something like fugg you!
- Doggos ARE heckin good boyos
  Signed, a Zoomer

Turns out Mormont's raven was actually just a freak
"CORN!"

Anon makes normal small talk

ITT: people getting crotchety over language evolving
- I'm gonna have to take the strong stance of this not being a case of language evolving.
- Thank you for re-invigorating such a niche weird as crotchety

If only we had things that corrected spelling mistakes, let's call them "spellcheckers"
