    People have developed their habits from posting to popular social sites that have heavy handed moderation or word filters. I’ve known a lot of people who have some really creatively worded insults to get around Call of Duty’s ridiculous word filter for example.

    It fucking sucks though, and I love that the fediverse doesn’t seem to care about profanity at all. Maybe there is an instance or two, but I haven’t run across any.

      I understand, was just trying to shoehorn the 7 words into a semi-satirical post.

      Still, sucks that the response to censorship is to capitulate in advance. I’m all for creative insults for the sake of being creative but it’s way beyond that right now.

      I am known to be rather stubborn though, so my instinct in such situations is to get even mouthier.

      If I could and wanted to post on Reddit, I would post nothing without it being corrected by an AI, and designed to follownall the rules.
