First of all, I didn’t censor it, that’s a quote from the Bluesky post.
But also, why is everybody so offended by censored words here? I don’t get it.
I think because it’s a sign how social media corps have trained us to avoid certain words or even create new ones (for example “unalive” instead of “kill”).
The term is algospeak, where you change your wording due to online censoring. I fucking hate that corporations have managed to literally change the way we speak.
But it’s also great that humans evolve language to keep ahead of algorithms and corporate bullshit.
It shows that people internalize censorship and start doing it unprompted.
The biggest reason seems to be that it will evade filters, which people set up very intentionally and specifically to keep these Fedi-spaces a safe place for them mentally.
So, for example, someone comes here to get away from the ‘real world’ and news and whatnot, may have a filter that blocks anything with the word “Trump”, or one I actually see censored a lot more often, “Israel”
Then someone makes a post about “Isr*el is so bad” and it sails right through their filters.
Ah fair enough
