    Can’t stand it. Censoring yourself so some random ass company can make more ad revenue.

            They censor no-no words, you’ll occasionally see removed in a comment from a Lemmy.world account.

            They’re also emotional children that ban or defederate anyone who disagrees with them.

            Basically, they’re reddit v2.

              Hexbear was an absolute shitshow when they defederated from it so I don’t blame them. It’s now merely a shitmonologue. I’m pissed about dbzero, though. Is the word filter a real thing? Because I’ve been baiting people into acting out their malignant racist fantasies through promises of word filters and I’d hate to know that they exist in some capacity.

                I think they just ublocked the dbzero. Or at least I saw a post about it recently saying they’ve unblocked the piracy communities. I assume that’s what you’re referring to.

                  Function first. Hexbear users on hexbear aren’t used to responding to people without reaction image barrages or endless effectively semantical arguments, and most people outside hexbear aren’t fans of that. Defederating the troll instance is just downright reasonable, not even getting into politics. They’ve chilled a bit since the initial excitement over federation. A. Bit.

            They moved to Nostr since there they can’t be defederated and shut their Lemmy instance down, I bet they’ll later claim that us or the ADL shut them down because conspiracy theories are juicier.

          The term “ungood” also lets you talk about bad things but that doesn’t make it not newspeak. The corporate sanitizing and infantilizing of speech is not a good thing. It’s not the teen’s problem though, it’s the corporations and their desire for a sanitized public square they can plaster ads over.

            Ungood was given by the state. This is stuff people are coming up with in defiance of the state/corporation/censorer. That distinction matters, I think.

        Humans have had a taste for the macabre at least for as long as we have written history. Public executions used to be a past time activity (even Jesus’ crucifixion is told like it was a public show), the morgue of Paris was a tourist attraction, even the sanitised (and controversial) Body Worlds exhibition has no trouble finding an audience. Maybe what’s weird is our relationship with death and putrefaction. It happens to everyone yet it’s somehow in bad taste to talk about it.

      I get so annoyed listening to true crime stuff on YouTube these days and having the audio cut out any time a person uses the word suicide or rape, but not the gorey details of murder; no that’s perfectly fine to hear every excruciating detail, but lord forbid your precious ears here the letters S-U-I-C-I-D-E in order.

        It’s not (mostly, I can’t speak for the weirdos out there) murder porn, though? For a while, it was a movement of almost solidarity with other women, because these stories could easily happen to us. So it was almost like listening to survival tips, as well as paying respects to those lost by trying to learn from their experiences. It probably wasn’t a coincedence that the ‘true crime wave’ happened around the time of Me Too.

        And to soothe your mind, true crime as a ‘fad’ is dying quite a bit. People realized that, hey having a frivolous show where you clown and make cocktails or some shit while talking about real victims just isn’t okay.

        Source: am a woman who was (and is) interested in true crime, and have spoken to many other women from different circles—and even states/cities—who were also interested in the topic.

          It’s not exclusive to woman either – guys (especially young guys) watch police bodycams of shootings, combat footage, and gore-porn TV shows or movies. There were entire subreddits dedicated to actual videos/pictures of people dying – and I’ll give you one guess as to what the demographics of their user bases were.

          It’s almost as if a lot of people are morbidly curious about death and violence.

            That’s not what I said, is it? I was talking specifically about the more recent spike in popularity.

            Edit: Not sure why I’m being down voted for pointing out what I said. I very specifically was talking about the spike in popularity around 2016. I’m not talking about the topic being popular before that, because there is a specific difference in the two time frames, where interest in the topic reached a fever pitch. And yes, it is ‘slowing down’ compared to said fever pitch ~2016. But ‘slowing down’ mostly means returning to baseline.

    I had this happen in real life.

    A friend of a friend died of cancer complications. I posted a rest in peace type message on Facebook without details.

    The next time I saw my mother she asked “I saw your post. Did your friend unalive herself…?”. It felt SO insulting and demeaning for her to ask that AND to ask like that.

    The terms originated from online censorship but to me using these terms IRL is very similar to people who use internet slang out loud. Might not be censoring herself but just so used to using those terms. It’s annoying either way though.
