    The childish censorship of names of people and things has been one of my biggest internet bug bears over the last few years.

    Are we supposed to call it X now? What a dumb name, in my opinion.

    I literally saw it everywhere on Mastodon, like, I honestly never saw anyone say it directly, just "birdsite" or a censored version. So I adapted to be polite. And sometimes forget which form of fediverse I'm posting on.
