It pisses me off how kid-friendly everything has become online. You can't swear at people and call them fucking idiots no matter how warranted it may be. People censor "removed" because it's a 'gay-slur' but in the UK it's a food type and a fag is a cigarette. "LatinX" and "unaliving" are things. There's Reddit subs where people can say "nigga" without being banned because it's assumed they're all black. But it's online so there's no way of fucking knowing!!

I feel like the Internet is turning into a fucking kiddie day care centre for young adult Americans.

It's insidious too. I didn't realise how much I was self-censoring until I came to Lemmy and started swearing more in comments. On Reddit I'd been talking like a guy surrounded by children, afraid to swear, lest I offend someone.

At least here I feel like I can express thoughts and feelings.

People here definitely don't mind expressing themselves. That's both a good and bad thing. Remember gamergate? Yeah those idiots are here too.
