Why, in the name of god, does Lemmy's obsession with censorship include the word "jerk?"
Gotta keep the language advertiser friendly.
Which advertiser are you talking about? 😵💫
That's the joke ^^
But it also shows the influence of watching YouTube|TikTok|Other Streamers that ARE using advertiser friendly language.
It's my personal choice. I want to be able to show the content of my posts and comments to anyone (edit: not only adults or unsupervised peers).
It's bullshit and you should stop.
It's a pattern of destroying information over puritanical nonsense. Treat people like adults.
These comments alone prove that some people are not adults.
Infantalizing people for their own good --> infantalizing people as an insult.
More behavior you need to cut the fuck out.
Agreed, I don't come to Lemmy to be treated like a child.
But muh freedom
Nobody's stopping you.
You should stop.
This is not a contradiction.
That's deeper than it seems
It's not about freedoms. Your self-censorship is wasting everyone's time, because we need to decipher what you meant.
This was not supposed to be a fucking riddle.
Ignorance of Daniel Suelo is ignorance of Daniel Suelo.
I can’t find this being a problem. What circles do you move in where “jerk” is a problematic word?
The whole thing after "programming" is the problem. I can't remember why I didn't censor the whole word.
Your self-censorship actually makes your already bad meme even worse because it's incomprehensible.
But sure, it's your right.
Pretty dumb, honestly. If anything it just adds a Streisand effect to it as people try to figure out what's censored.
Not that censoring it has any value whatsoever. Like if a child sees that, so fucking what?
If I included cussing in "[YTP] Intoducing Apple Pro", then I wouldn't have been able to show it in my self introduction presentation in a high school class. I can't guarantee that cleanness wouldn't have a similar benefit for this meme.
dont listen to the others. u are free to censor your own content; it is still completely readable. people just want to complain about something.
Another r*ctangle lover 🤮 /s
