Why do people censor fuck or other profanity on the internet? I don't get it, and until now, I've been too afraid to ask.
Lemmy is bizarrely fond of useless censorship, and I think it's because .ml has a bunch of filters. Which is hilarious. Yes folks, we expect to reach a stateless society with no firm hierarchy, and all boundaries decided by the people. The admin has decided you may not say fuck.
I think its because most of the content is reposted from other places where censoring is the norm.
Where else is that remotely normal?
Minecraft chat, which is what most of these three kids in a trenchcoat are coming from
Instagram, tiktok, tumblr (when reposted to it) to some extent.
