Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.
On Lemmy, there’s no good reason. But they may be carrying over habits from other sites where there is harsh censorship of non-advertiser-friendly language

Good to know which instance to avoid!

A better question is why do you feel the need to die on the hill of using slurs?
Because swearing is a natural part of the human experience and most level headed people don’t feel the need to suppress human expression.
Swearing serves an important biological need to express emotion and communicate. Psychologically, we swear to express strong emotions and when people swear, they are inherently viewed as more trustworthy or honest. Swearing helps people bond.
They’re not talking about swearing. Call someone a fucking shit-eating worm is fine. But on the other hand are words used to insult marginalized groups (women, homosexuals, the mentally disabled, etc.). B/*itch, wh/*ore, c/*nt; c/*cksucker, f/*g; r/*tard, a/*tist, etc.
These are the words being blocked. Not swears, slurs. You can say fuck, shit, damn, and hell all you want.
For what it’s worth, I tend to fall on the side of a little bit being fine. I don’t use those words (except the slurs against w/*men), but if there’s one thing I fucking hate, it’s Scolds. If Felix Biederman wants to call people r/*tards and c/*cksuckers, I think he should be allowed to, and I’m not going to try to cancel him for it.
Fuck that shit, i’ll swear all the god-damned hell I want and that doesn’t even begin to excuse the use of slurs. Nice attempt at cracker leftism.
Wow, jumping into racism.
Yes I am racist against white people, and the fact that you aren’t tells me everything I need to know about what you stand for.
EDIT: All the baby neo-nazis really showing up for this one. I’m going to need a bigger block list to fit all these scratched liberals
I think there’s some miscommunication here. You’re the only person in this thread that brought up slurs. Everyone else is talking about swear words which is a different thing. I don’t think anyone here is saying slurs aren’t bad. What people are saying is it should be ok to use swear words, which you just demonstrated with your comment.
I’m not confused, misogo is so rampant that people don’t even consider them to be slurs, kind of like what used to happen to ableist slurs.
I’m willing to bet a good amount of people in this comment section used to use ableist slurs before they were told not to, because they treat slurs as “words I’m not allowed to say” rather than genuinely not wanting to hurt the groups that said slurs are targeting.

“Bitch” is not a slur. It is a swear. Swears are fine, slurs are not. They are not equivelant, and shouldn’t be treated as such.
Holy fucking hell. What kind of pearl clutching Victorian era bullshit is that?
Why do you feel the need to bitch about it?
“Don’t do the thing” “I’m going to do the thing you just told me not to do”
Rape culture.
Rape culture
Because someone said bitch and doesn’t follow your orders?
Lol.
But you’re also probably trolling
Imagine being so far right that you think basic decency is “trolling”
Garbage human.
No.
But thank you for establishing the fact you lack the cognitive capacity to engage this thread in good faith.
Whatever, rapist.
because fuck you? /s

Sounds shit, the admins must be right bitches
“Being polite and using inclusive language is authoritarian”
You can be goddamn polite and still swear without automatically becoming a fucking asshole.
Although I totally get why lemmy.ml would want to do something like that, it’s not “being polite…”, it’s “enforcing politeness…”
If you gave “authoritarian” to an AI that determined what it meant through it use alone, it would think it means “Won’t let me be a nazi”

Oooh ooh oh i’m sooo triggered right now 😒
You know what it’s called when you do something someone has clearly stated they don’t like? It’s called rape culture, but that’s not a conversation any of you crackers are ready to have yet. You all still need to have basic decency explained to you in a youtube essay.
Let’s get something straight right here, rape culture is not simply doing something that someone else has expressed a distaste for. Going into a public forum that you do not own or have control over, asking/telling the people there to act a certain way, and them responding by ignoring that request is not rape culture.
If it was a more private situation, like a group chat among friends, or even a public forum but an individual discussion between a small group of 2-3 people talking directly to each other, respect should be given to requests. If you were having a back and forth conversation with someone, and asked them not to swear while talking with you, they should respect that. But coming into public forum and demanding everyone else adhere to your rules, then spouting “rape culture” if they don’t follow along, is only cheapening the phrase “rape culture” and removing meaning from it.
That rhetoric is the same as when neo-nazis go around saying “lets not cheapen nazi by calling everyone we disagree with nazi”
Not a good look.
No words should be cheapened. None of them. Not Nazi, not Fascist, not woke, and not anything else.
They all have meanings for a reason. Better we all learn them and use em correctly instead of throwing the word at something irrelevant just because we don’t it as if we were children.
Let’s just get this out of the way…
Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits. And sometimes fart turd twat bitch.
Whatever is censored is being filtered by your instance.
I’m on an aussie instance, it just called you a fucken lightweight.

No censorship here. Could’ve guess with the instance’s name but still good to know! Thanks :)
Okay I’m going to eat the onion. What are words 5 and the last one?
C o c k s u c k e r is word 5. T i t s is the last one on that sentence. B i t c h is the last word of the post.
Lemmy.ml sucks. I really need to move on.
I fucked your mom
I haven’t heard that song in ages
They played it in their most recent tour. Great setlist
That’s awesome. I had it on a compilation record from fat wreck called, “Short Music for Short People” had like 100+ songs and the rule was they had to be 30 seconds or less. Had some bangers, that one included.
My mind auto harmonized with this comment
My video was posted 12 years ago and yours was only posted 9 years ago. Check mate, atheists.
The video was actually recorded in the 1970s though. Checkmate theists?
Wait, so now I need to eat fish on Fridays? But I hate fish…
That’s ok…you can have beaver instead if you like. Take that however you wish…

Fuck, shit, pussy, ass, motherfucking, damn, bitch Bitch, damn, motherfucking, ass, pussy, shit, fuck
-Chop Chop Slide
Comes from the social media platforms that auto remove stories that contain certain words. Tiktok, Instagram, etc.
Cool, all the platforms I don’t use anyway.
Think I just don’t like places that are squeaky clean.
TikTok and Instagram are squeaky clean?
I’ve seen that for words that are considered to be ‘triggers’, as if saying ‘r@pe’ is somehow different at all than just using the normal vowel.
That behavior drives me up the fucking wall, because by munging the word they make it less likely to be caught by user-invoked blocklists. Meaning they’re forcing people to be triggered after taking steps to avoid such.
Don’t fucking do that shit.
for the blocklist or whatever: rape
I suspect it’s largely become a habit from people being on platforms that have automatic blocked word filters.
cause i’m f@cking polite you a$$hole!

[REDACTED] yeah!
Tbh I agree, but not like that. Self-censorship is useful in the sense of a larger vocabulary or unique or silly insults, or slang/code like Jive, but to use a word and still censor that word is preposterous. Just use a differen’t word you turkey! Don’t just say “d!ck” for “dick,” say “weiner,” it’s more funny anyway.
One possible reason is that some words on controversial subjects can attract mobs of posters with an agenda. They search for keywords to find threads to flood with their arguments.
So posters would get in the habit of saying something like “I love p1n3apple on p*zza” to avoid the wrath of pizza purists (made-up example, but substitute with anything more controversial).
This was a big problem during the 2016 election on reddit. There were armies of idiots who searched for comments containing ‘Trump’ and would brigade the shit out of it. But if you changed the ‘p’ to a ‘р’ (the Cyclic character) or changed the ‘u’ to a ‘ս’ (the Armenian character) miraculously you wouldn’t be brigaded.
Habit. If I name my folder “Pron,” then nobody who sees my desktop will know what’s in it.
Because instances have language filters. On lemmy.ml you can’t say “female dog”, it shows as “removed”

I have noticed that my phone will autocorrect/misrecognize some swears. Fuck is often duck.
At least on android, i find you can enable offensive words in keyboard settings to fix this
I am not going to login to see it, but I appreciate your effort. 😁
Didnt realise you had to login to see nsfw models. Thats the model in question:

Bitch
You are fined one credit for a violation of the Verbal Morality Statute.
Thanks a lot, you shitbrained, fart faced, ball breaking, duck fucking pain in the ass.
You lewd, crude bag of pre-chewed food dude.
To answer your question. They don’t like that stuff.
EDIT Having instances censor stuff for you is bad. Users censor themselves is fine.

Generally I don’t care about words like bitch, fuck, shit, but there are certain servers and communities where cusses or other words are used harmfully towards groups that the community or server is inteded to be a supportive place for, and when they come up in discussion, even just as examples as what was said to them are rightfully censored or have a trigger warning placed in front.
Community mods and server operators can get overboard with this but they get that privilege because they do the work to moderate it anyway.
