    From what I understand it’s some kind of self-censorship people are engaging in on major social media platforms in an attempt to stop posts with potentially ““problematic”” words being demoted. It leads to this sort of stupid arbitary brushing out of words.

    I blame both the platforms for having shitty algorithms designed to whitewash everything, and users who are absolutely obsessed with engagement and likes on their posts so they censor the shit out of so many words. If you have to censor words like “die”, “kill”, “fuck” “nazi” etc. then there’s a big problem.

    Fuck big tech, fuck advertisers, and fuck influencers.
