Can’t stand it. Censoring yourself so some random ass company can make more ad revenue.
Fuck that.
Fun fact: until not too long ago there was a language filter built right into Lemmy’s source code.
No mandarin allowed?
hexbear begins lighting torches
what is a hexbear?
A far right Lemmy instance.
Technically they’re far left (Tankies) but they don’t act that much different from far right in terms of behavior (such as their abusive and disruptive trolling).
They’re far right cosplaying leftists.
There is a language filter still that any admin can put words into.
But it’s not hard coded into the source code
Yes, no predefined list ships in the code, just the ability to add words to the list.
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”
You enhanced the meme, good job.

You ever go to a club where a man wee on you?
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.
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.
“says le$bian”
Really. Can you spell out phonetically how they say that?
Le-dolla-be’in
The actual way we’ve said it jokingly around here. ^
Le cha-ching! bian
“Lecashbian” could roll well off the tongue
It’s his the French refer to Le Caspian.
Says he met her on bumble, so I assume she says it like “le$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
Ain’t that a bitch? Illy.
Okay, we need to stop letting Youtube police our langauge
This is tiktok though.
Is that a gauge for LANs?
tiktok
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?
Ok Richard Stallman
Preventing people from saying “lesbian” sounds homophobic to me.
CPC regularly disappear gay and lesbian people. Back in 1996 they just publicly executed them.
Omg…
Cannot resist bashposting:
~ $ bian='nd me money pls' ~ $ echo le$bian lend me money pls$ bian='an your face against DEEZ NUTS'
How does one pronounce le$bian?
With zero shame, apparently
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
If that’s been proven then you should be able to cite the source of the proof right? Please go ahead.
STFU
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.
I’m surprised people downvote that idea. Part of the issue was the hordes of people of… lower intellect flooding into public forums to begin with. Segmenting them out into their own little zoo seems ideal to filter the noise out more effectively.
I meant that it should be possible to appreciate harmlessly stupid or silly/vapid humour without it degrading your ability to also reason critically about serious stuff.
provably designed to dumb down Westerners
Ok, prove it please.
Good reads, thanks!

Suddenly, a million Iowans scream out in ecstasy.
This is probably how it sounds to some older millenials or gen x’ers when I, a younger millenial talk in meme references
It’s scary how we seem to be getting closer and closer to 1984.
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.
Sure Jan.
This kind of newspeak censorship is absolutely evil. We should absolutely go against any people or entities pushing it forward.
I’m not going to say exactly what I’d want to do to them because it would likely violate the Geneva convention, though honestly I feel like it shouldn’t if we should also be allowed to punch, shoot, or otherwise violently attack Nazis, why not these evil people trying to suppress us and Push newspeak right now? Ultimately they’re being civil right now but once they have their way they’ll be beating and arresting us (Just like the polite Nazis would).
Yeah I used to find “Unalive” quirky and charming, but now it’s… Getting a little too Demolition Man in here…
Well seems this community is no better than the corpos if their mod thinks saying to eliminate Nazis is Bigotry.
If I’m on a platform that penalizes using problematic languages I at least find a poetic way of expressing what I mean. “Suic*de” is fuckin stupid. Escaping this mortal coil of my own volition is cool. Well, it’s not, but the words are
You should go outside more
Yeah why shouldn’t we violently attack and murder anyone who does anything we don’t like? We’re good people and they’re bad people therefore anything we do is right and good!
“We shouldn’t hurt Nazis, Nazis are real people too who deserve love and respect like all other people.”
The problem is you jumped from Nazis straight to people who use words in a way you don’t like
