    Because two of the big platforms might cut off your traffic for using any of a long list of arbitrary words.

    It’s pretty fucking disgusting to self censor inoffensive language because an app might stop showing your memes to other mouthbreathers.

      It’s disgusting to need to do it. I won’t blame poster/commenter for doing it so that their shit doesn’t get deleted.

        They don’t need to do it, their post wont get deleted. It will only not get promoted by the platform, it can still be shared and viewed directly by users.

      not only that, but by using munged language like that you’re effectively making peoples blocklists on trigger words utterly fucking useless.
