"fucking" is fine but "pedophiles" is too explicit not to censor? This trend is so god damn stupid
Probably not about being explicit, but more about not getting your accounts banned from everywhere.
If a site will ban you for either of those words it's not worth using recreationally
So we should just let the corpo sites like IG and YT be filled with corpo friendly propaganda? This seems like one of those "don't hate the player, hate the game" situations
No. You're supposed to stop visiting them. Full stop.
You just stop using them.
Then how does your counter-propaganda reach the idiots who keep doing so?
(For the record, I don't use those sites, but I recognize that it greatly limits the audience for what I write.)
It's not my job to deprogram idiots. I don't know why you would even frame your question that way.
Because the idiots affect your life, whether you like it or not.
Cool, so how's that rehabilitation program you're running going?
but by doing this weird algo speak censorship dodging we are proliferating it
I mean, if you want to reach as many as you can with your political message, you have to be where the users are, unfortunately. But us regular people, we can happily stay away.
Apparently they do it because it drives up engagement
Solution: downvote or ignore
They do it because people will comment about it and they make more money that way
...on lemmy? How?
It didn't originate on lemmy so someone saw it on twitter or something and reshared it here
I was wondering why use the censored version here tho, but I thought about it for a moment and realised it's not worht the effort to find the uncensored version when this one is still readable
