I don't know if you guys know this, but...

It isn’t like the old days. Religious people are among us now.

FUCK

No you can't. An internet police vehicle has been dispatched to your location. You'll be confiscated and placed in the silly room for one fortnight.
May God have mercy on your soul.

Not according to Reddit, who has gotten ridiculously ban-happy
- I got banned from a subreddit for linking to another subreddit..

But I don't want to.

Fuck balls

Oh dear. Now you've done it.

I can think of a word no one's brave enough to say...
- Floccinaucinihilipilification

Oh crackers!

Frell! Frick! Frak! Fsck!

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.

Except for me. **** is my password so if I type **** Lemmy automatically sensors it.
- You fool! Now I can steal your credit card information using... The login to a social media platform without in app purchases...
- No it isn’t. I just tried and it doesn’t even meet minimum character length

fuck
- On the Intenet
  
  Darmok and Galad
  At Tenagra

My internet is appalled

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.

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".
  
  oui’d” instead of “weed”.
  My french is in pain 🥖
  
  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.
  
  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.
  
  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.

Luigi, Die, Cum, Cunt, Whore, Shit
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.
  
  GTA RPers would be pretty fucked if they needed to stop saying the names of drugs
  
  Suicide is normal word sure, but Toaster-bath is more fun
- .ml users hate this one weird trick

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...
- 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
- 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 learned all of my Chinese from Firefly
  
  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.
- 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.

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.

In going to say it...
Unprotected handholding.
- Filth!
- 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 🤢🤮

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's like graffiti on the wall of buildings, that keeps the rent down.
"fuck" on the internet keeps the advertisers away.

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

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

Nice try but I don’t wanna be grounded
- Noooo 😭
  
  that feels so massive 😳

My keyboard doesn't have a fuck key so I don't know how to type it
- Ka-tarl
- start with F

I want a cnsored version of this
- A cuntsered version?
  
  A cfucknsored version
  
  Ys

Phoque ?

Culpeppers! Straight culpeppers!

- Red Dwarf, on the other hand, used Smeg. Which today is a company that makes excellent fridges.
  
  Smegma is a word, though.

I bet you can't say ni
Edit: Damn.

Word https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=fuck What's with the old fuck?
- Lots of fuck right around 5 o'clock and then picks up again by 8. Checks out

What the fuck?

Somebody else's list.
- I loooove his standup. I have a whole collection of his stuff.

You gotta be fucking kidding me!

You can't say fuck in school you fucking fatass!
- 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 let our kids swear at home. It's a legit stress relief.
  
  i'm curious, why do you not have an issue with controlling what kids say? To me that seems really quite profoundly fucked up and authoritarian.
