Here you go OP. It’s actually ok to swear on the internet.

    Here is a not weirdly censored and un-censored version:

    I mean… could I have gone and found the original, maybe. Did it cross my mind, no I jumped straight to do it on my phone and make it look as natural as possible, but of course this was the harder option. 🤦‍♂️

    I like to go the extra mile. I uncensor shit emphatically.

    A censored "shit" in a post about Star Trek? "SHIT" in big Star Trek font.

    "Cunt" in a post about the UK? Enjoy your "CUNT" dressed in a union jack.

    The censored word is "cock"? Here's "COCK" in flesh tones with bulging purple veins on it.

    Fucking lean into it.

    I don't get at all this trend of badly censored words.

    One theory is that it's done intentionally to farm engagement from people pointing it out. Also I think most mainstream platforms heavily push down in the algorithm content that isn't sanitised. This is to make the platform more appealing to advertisers because the platform's userbase is the product.

    As for why the words are partly censored instead of completely censored I'm not sure. I'd guess it's to game the algorithm while also making the word completely obvious.

    Either way, if this is the behaviour that you engage in on a platform, that platform is terrible and you are an attention obsessed idiot.

    The creators of Lemmy (who also run the Lemmy.ml instance) are huge fans of censorship and propaganda so they use automated swear word filtering to train their users into uncritically accepting censorship.

    Unless you’re a part of .ml, apparently. They auto-censor that stuff for some reason.

    hold up....the CCCP supporting fascist loving asscrack of the federation censors posts?!

    to hear a ml user, they make it seem like they're having a fucking blast over there... sounds like a fucking gulag.
