    Maybe it’s to avoid getting buried in the algorithm on mainstream apps that avoid that word. It’s likely just a copy paste from one of those.

      “The algorithm” really doesn’t care about font changes.

      People’s grasp of modern computing is insanely outdated. Nobody does simple string matching at scale like in the ye olden forums.

      Any decently advanced system will “know” the words you black out or write in a weird font or with a modern expression like “unalive”

      Even with the consumer accessible multi-modal language models reading AND understanding th context of text in images is fully trivial

        Yet publications on TikTok with the word suicide get banned and deleted, while unalived do not.

        It’s true that they do know what the content is about, it’s just the politics of online social networks shaping communication.
