Suicide and murder are normal words as well. I'm seeing things like weed or cocaine blocked lately too.
I don't know if you guys know this, but...

Suicide is normal word sure, but Toaster-bath is more fun
GTA RPers would be pretty fucked if they needed to stop saying the names of drugs

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.
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…
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.
That makes me uncomfy 🤢🤮
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".
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!
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.

Nice try but I don’t wanna be grounded
Noooo 😭

mass in german literally refers to ground
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)...

Censored:
I learned all of my Chinese from Firefly
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, 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
Cooked.
Cucked.
Smegma is a word, though.
I was not exactly in dire need of being reminded of that, thanks
You gotta be fucking kidding me!
I got banned from a subreddit for linking to another subreddit..
Actually my daughter's school in California has a stress group one for girls and one for boys where they get together to discuss stress in their life. They're allowed to curse in that group But only there. They're in 4th grade... I don't have an issue with it but I hate that 4th graders even need a stress group. This country is whack.
We do too but seems risky letting them at school for those who don't let their kids.
fuck yeah!
I use voice dictation a lot. When I use it for work I need to censor myself.
When I come to Lemmy I'm not going to go through the trouble of finding the voice dictation setting 12 layers deep so that it won't censor the word fuck.
Inadvertently some assholes comes along after every one spicy comments to let me know I can say fuck on the internet.
F*** them.
Word https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=fuck What's with the old fuck?

The radio version be like
Fuck you, I wont' say what I want... don't? Fuck...
Fuck you I won't do what you tell me! Fuck you I won't do what you tell me!
Well I suppose if you wanted to then you could. I mean I don't swear when I speak so I don't feel I need to online.
It isn’t like the old days. Religious people are among us now.
Everyone only has a limited number of fucks to give. Whenever you see it censored, they have simply run out of fucks.
UwU
You motherflippers all think this everything is a motherflipping joke
Oh dear. Now you've done it.
Type fuck to pay respect
