    You’re getting downvoted and I suspect I’m about to join you, but when I saw the post the first thing I thought was “the guy must must be a Lemmy user” because of all the extended rant threads I’ve seen here from people getting mad at others who avoid using profanity or choose to self censor. I’m all for fighting against unnecessary enforced censorship from higher ups but it’s weird to see people get so mad at someone for just personally wanting to avoid it, using asterisks, or using less offensive substitute words for “real” profanity.

    It’s just so gosh darned strange, seems like a fracked up reason to crap on someone

      Not to mention that 9 out of 10 times it’s not the Lemmy OP censoring, they are just grabbing a meme that’s been censored elsewhere.

      I think it’s finny that people on Lemmy want “more content” but then complain hardcore about minor things even in shitposts, like cropping or pixels.
