Is it brainwashing, or adapting to circumvent actual censorship? People say “unalive” because “kill” will hide your content from the algorithm, if it doesn’t remove it entirely.
I would argue yes. Before we had clothes no one would have cared, but now most people think it’s weird to see other humans naked. I don’t know what you’d call that if not brainwashed.
Hey, you’re trying to censor with asterisks but Lemmy interprets those as formatting instructions. If you want the asterisks to show up, you need to put a backslash in front of them like so:
Cheap ones are s\**t, worn out ones are also s\**t.
Cheap ones are s##t, worn out ones are also s##t. Adjusting the tension on the tape roller is a fine art as batch to batch the glue can change.
God I need to get out more !
You can say “shit” on the Internet.
Let them self censor. It’s their comment.
I’d personally prefer to see special characters than word replacement like “unalive”
Unalive is a s##tty replacement for the word shit.
You can say slutty on the internet.
Unalive is the replacement for dead.
There are multitudinous other words they could choose from.
They’re being brainwashed by corpo social media to self-censor, a necessary 1984 step.
Edit: Fuck.

What is brainwashing if not forced adaptation to manufactured requirements?
Am you brainwashed for wearing clothes in public?
I would argue yes. Before we had clothes no one would have cared, but now most people think it’s weird to see other humans naked. I don’t know what you’d call that if not brainwashed.
Well shit, shitty, shit shit shit…
Much better, thank you

And we’re all adult enough to handle reading the words.
It’s such a strange idea to use bad words but okay it by censoring letters out. Either use the word or don’t.
