Here you go OP. It’s actually ok to swear on the internet.

Here is a not weirdly censored and un-censored version:

I mean… could I have gone and found the original, maybe. Did it cross my mind, no I jumped straight to do it on my phone and make it look as natural as possible, but of course this was the harder option. 🤦‍♂️

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I like to go the extra mile. I uncensor shit emphatically.

A censored "shit" in a post about Star Trek? "SHIT" in big Star Trek font.

"Cunt" in a post about the UK? Enjoy your "CUNT" dressed in a union jack.

The censored word is "cock"? Here's "COCK" in flesh tones with bulging purple veins on it.

Fucking lean into it.

I also like to reinvent wheels, it's basically a hobby at this point

[-] axx@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

"Harder". I mean, sure. It's all so low effort anyway. Why not call that harder.

[-] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 67 points 3 days ago

I don't get at all this trend of badly censored words.

[-] voidsignal@lemmy.world 72 points 3 days ago

They try to be a rebel, but still wanna please facists algorithms. American puritanism BS. Fuck that.

One theory is that it's done intentionally to farm engagement from people pointing it out. Also I think most mainstream platforms heavily push down in the algorithm content that isn't sanitised. This is to make the platform more appealing to advertisers because the platform's userbase is the product.

As for why the words are partly censored instead of completely censored I'm not sure. I'd guess it's to game the algorithm while also making the word completely obvious.

Either way, if this is the behaviour that you engage in on a platform, that platform is terrible and you are an attention obsessed idiot.

Yes, **** the fuck.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago

It's to get by censorship algorithms on certain sites. The picture is copied as-is, so it stays even when not needed.

[-] lostbit@feddit.nl 2 points 2 days ago

the only correct answer

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

The creators of Lemmy (who also run the Lemmy.ml instance) are huge fans of censorship and propaganda so they use automated swear word filtering to train their users into uncritically accepting censorship.

[-] SystemDisc@feddit.org 16 points 2 days ago

I hate it. I downvote every censored post.

MY EYES! NOOOOO! MY INNOCENCE!!!!

[-] Seleni@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Unless you’re a part of .ml, apparently. They auto-censor that stuff for some reason.

[-] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

They got more problems than censoring bad words tho…

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

i can promise you fuck isn't censored on .ml

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

hold up....the CCCP supporting fascist loving asscrack of the federation censors posts?!

to hear a ml user, they make it seem like they're having a fucking blast over there... sounds like a fucking gulag.

[-] LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago

I'm sure if you're a bootlicking, barely literate troglodyte it is amazing to be on ml

[-] Diva@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

it is pretty great not having to deal with fash on the regular.

uncanny tho how every time i go into the wider lemmy there's someone complaining about troglodytes/untermensch/degenerates

[-] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 days ago

Anything's possible when you make shit up
