Certain platforms screen for a list of trigger words and reduce visibility in their algorithms, which leads to people self-censoring and/or using weird euphemisms like "unalive". I think it's stupid and will usually reverse image search to find an uncensored version before posting to Lemmy, but I didn't have any luck with this one.
(I do also think it has become a trend for people to self-censor even when they don't have to because they're so used to seeing it that way on tiktok or whatever)
Ah, that makes sense. I was familiar with the "unalive" expression from YouTube and knowing how demonetization-happy they get. But I hadn't really considered other platforms doing similar things.

Replaced it with this one, thanks. I had tried finding the original uncensored version but didn't have any luck.

Unnecessary here, but not on the algorithmically censored Facebook group the meme was harvested from

Seems like the problem could be avoided by not being on Facebook.

What the fuck is with this trend of censoring words, even non-swear words, in images? I'm seeing this all over the place lately.

Weird, it must be an instance-specific thing, because it’s not censored for me.

OP edited the post to change the image after a version without the censoring was provided by another commenter
