WHO IS CENSORING THE WORD "BURN" ???

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago

FREAKING? FREAKING. NOT FUCKING. FREAKING. WHAT.

I initially thought it said "bitch out," meaning that the censorship made me think of a "worse" word.

edit: Also didn't realize until now that that freaking said "freaking." Again ... Censorship made things seem more extreme.

I suspect there's an algorithm out there on some other platform where boosting is adversely affected by any kind of negative language, and people have figured it out and try to game it with this kind of thing.
