Are words you can also say. Fuck the algorithm and sanitised internet
Suicide and murder are normal words as well. I’m seeing things like weed or cocaine blocked lately too.
Suicide is normal word sure, but Toaster-bath is more fun
Ye it’s hard being a protogen :(
I don’t have a toaster or a bathtub. Is air fryer in a shower a suitable alternative?
Do we have ididnthaveeggs lemmunity here?
The opening song for the movie and tv series MASH was Suicide is painless
GTA RPers would be pretty fucked if they needed to stop saying the names of drugs
.ml users hate this one weird trick
Woah now, think of the poor algorithm!
Appropriate Voyager/dbzer0/my isp fail:
I literally only opened the comments to ask someone to do this. Lol. Thank you for anticipating my needs
Think of the advertisers! They need a nice, sanitised environment to keep their bullshit in.
Meanwhile on Youtube “This PDF File Game-Ended himself because he was caught with Child SA Corn and now he’s unalive.”
God that’s fucking annoying. The other week I was listening to a podcast that also has episodes on YouTube. They were talking about farming and had to bleep the word ‘rapeseed’. The fuck are we doing guys.
You used to be able to watch beheadings online, now a farmer can’t even talk about his crops online without the censorship police getting involved…
Maybe the farmer shouldn’t depend on corporations for their platform then.
Build a Youtube alternative
You can absolutely still watch beheadings online.
Well sure, but you also used to :D
No doubt there’s still sites which have it, but it feels like it used to be more common to run into that sort of material, even on places like YouTube.
I’ve only seen one - journalist Daniel Pearl. It was shown when I studied journalism back in 2002. Part of a cautionary discussion about the dangers of reporting on war and conflics.
In going to say it…
Unprotected handholding.
I wish I had some pearls I could clutch.
I’ll allow it, but i better not see any exposed ankles
That makes me uncomfy 🤢🤮
Filth!
And pedophile and rape.
Please stop making serious topics sound so unserious.
What you’re referring to is a recent trend of social media platforms enforcing a wordlist ban, causing people to resort to using “newspeak”, coined from the book 1984.
Newspeak was a language where negative words were not allowed. You can literally see it on platforms like TikTok, where people say “unalive” instead of “kill”, “seggs” instead of “sex”, or “oui’d” instead of “weed”.
I got off of tiktok a while ago because of the newspeak stuff. Hearing someone describe the horrors of Katrina while saying things like that was my last straw.
And it invades other platforms that don’t do it too because people are just so used to using it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algospeak
Algospeak is the use of coded expressions to evade automated moderation algorithms on social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube. It is used to discuss topics deemed sensitive to moderation algorithms while avoiding penalties such as shadow banning or downranking of content.
Thank you, I wasn’t aware of this term!
You’re welcome. I only learned of it myself a few weeks ago.
i don’t think newspeak is a good term for it, that implies an authority is forcing specific language onto people to limit their communications
what’s happening is the precise opposite, people are inventing new language to keep communicating the same things despite being censored, it’s the exact same thing that happened in hong kong with the chinese censorship.
That’s a good point! I’ve always heard it referred to as newspeak, but there is indeed a small but important distinction between the two.
The end result is similar, but the way there is the opposite (blocking vs enforcing)
I think comparing it to newspeak is still a good warning however, as they are caused by similar pressures applied in different ways, but algospeak is the more accurate term.
oui’d” instead of “weed”.
My french is in pain 🥖
My keyboard doesn’t have a fuck key so I don’t know how to type it

All this computer hacking is hard work. I think I’ll have a tab.
No time for that, the computer’s starting!
I want a c*nsored version of this
A cuntsered version?
A cfucknsored version
Y*s
Nice try but I don’t wanna be grounded
Noooo 😭
that feels so massive 😳
Are you phallomorphing circuit diagram symbols?

mass in german literally refers to ground
woosh
Not very girthy though

Self-censoring swearing and serious topics will never not be ridiculous to me. I especially dislike the trend if censoring them by replacing letters with numbers/symbols, because I don’t see that well…
I’m fine with self-censorship so long as it’s also self-aware and funny, llike that D&D group on youtube where they replace penis with “schmenis”, that outright elevates things.
Ideally take the opportunity to be creative with euphemisms, blur the line between censorship and art.I loved how Blade Trinity at least recognized the absurdity (for TV channels that required censorship)…
Original:
- Hannibal King: How about you take a sugar-frosted fuck off the end of my dick?
- Danica Talos: And how about everyone here not saying the word “dick” anymore? It provokes my envy.
Censored:
- Hannibal King: How about you take a sugar-frosted fuck off the end of my Woohoo?
- Danica Talos: And how about everyone here not saying the word “Woohoo” anymore? It provokes my envy.
I learned all of my Chinese from Firefly
Right? If you don’t want to swear you don’t need to swear, what’s the point of using asterisks lol
Specially on lemmy where there’s no algorithm to begin with
This is also exactly why I was never interested in places like TikTok even befitting they bent the knee to the US, not gonna lie.
My internet is appalled
It’s like graffiti on the wall of buildings, that keeps the rent down.
“fuck” on the internet keeps the advertisers away.
FUCK
fuck nazism and especially fuck corporations like alphabet inc that force content creators to censor words like Hitler and holocaust because they’re not “advertiser friendly” enough
Fuck, Alphabet did it during COVID. YouTubers had to talk around the pandemic or the Great Algorithm of Everything might demonetize or de-prioritize their videos. Yes, let’s not talk about the most pressing topic affecting the entire planet because it makes a few marketing geniuses sads… brilliant.
Fuck I forgot about the whole “human malware” thing
fuck
On the Intenet
Darmok and Galad

Got two generations raised on Pleasing The Algorithm, we are so fucked
Cooked.
Cucked.
