Hexbear was an absolute shitshow when they defederated from it so I don’t blame them. It’s now merely a shitmonologue. I’m pissed about dbzero, though. Is the word filter a real thing? Because I’ve been baiting people into acting out their malignant racist fantasies through promises of word filters and I’d hate to know that they exist in some capacity.
I think they just ublocked the dbzero. Or at least I saw a post about it recently saying they've unblocked the piracy communities. I assume that's what you're referring to.
Function first. Hexbear users on hexbear aren’t used to responding to people without reaction image barrages or endless effectively semantical arguments, and most people outside hexbear aren’t fans of that. Defederating the troll instance is just downright reasonable, not even getting into politics. They’ve chilled a bit since the initial excitement over federation. A. Bit.
Which makes no sense. How are the words picked? Is there a sliding scale, or an objectionable meter somewhere? Who decided that b!tch should be censored, but not cunt or skank?
What ideology are you talking about? Sure, you might just be a salty liberal or propertarian, but such vaguery could easily be a dogwhistle for something sinister.
They moved to Nostr since there they can't be defederated and shut their Lemmy instance down, I bet they'll later claim that us or the ADL shut them down because conspiracy theories are juicier.
Technically they're far left (Tankies) but they don't act that much different from far right in terms of behavior (such as their abusive and disruptive trolling).
Ah yes, clearly nobody could actually be a communist (notwithstanding the existence of the CPC and others)? I’m not sure what your argument is supposed to be… the CIA murders them all?
I actually dig it a bit. They're not really censoring themselves, they're still talking about corn and seggs just in a way the app doesn't yet recognize. Take that advertisers!
Yeah, they're literally bypassing being censored. They're continuing to talk about the shit that the company doesn't want them to. It's the opposite of what people are bitching about.
The term “ungood” also lets you talk about bad things but that doesn’t make it not newspeak. The corporate sanitizing and infantilizing of speech is not a good thing. It’s not the teen’s problem though, it’s the corporations and their desire for a sanitized public square they can plaster ads over.
Ungood was given by the state. This is stuff people are coming up with in defiance of the state/corporation/censorer. That distinction matters, I think.
My wife was telling me about how annoying it is that she'll try listening to new true crime podcasts and they'll shit like "unalived" instead of "killed". Comes across hella disrespectful to the victims.
Humans have had a taste for the macabre at least for as long as we have written history. Public executions used to be a past time activity (even Jesus' crucifixion is told like it was a public show), the morgue of Paris was a tourist attraction, even the sanitised (and controversial) Body Worlds exhibition has no trouble finding an audience.
Maybe what's weird is our relationship with death and putrefaction. It happens to everyone yet it's somehow in bad taste to talk about it.
If I was murdered and the case went cold for a long time, you bet I'd want everyone hearing about it after the case finally gets solved. But that's just me.
I get so annoyed listening to true crime stuff on YouTube these days and having the audio cut out any time a person uses the word suicide or rape, but not the gorey details of murder; no that's perfectly fine to hear every excruciating detail, but lord forbid your precious ears here the letters S-U-I-C-I-D-E in order.
It's not (mostly, I can't speak for the weirdos out there) murder porn, though? For a while, it was a movement of almost solidarity with other women, because these stories could easily happen to us. So it was almost like listening to survival tips, as well as paying respects to those lost by trying to learn from their experiences. It probably wasn't a coincedence that the 'true crime wave' happened around the time of Me Too.
And to soothe your mind, true crime as a 'fad' is dying quite a bit. People realized that, hey having a frivolous show where you clown and make cocktails or some shit while talking about real victims just isn't okay.
Source: am a woman who was (and is) interested in true crime, and have spoken to many other women from different circles—and even states/cities—who were also interested in the topic.
It's not exclusive to woman either -- guys (especially young guys) watch police bodycams of shootings, combat footage, and gore-porn TV shows or movies. There were entire subreddits dedicated to actual videos/pictures of people dying -- and I'll give you one guess as to what the demographics of their user bases were.
It's almost as if a lot of people are morbidly curious about death and violence.
That's not what I said, is it? I was talking specifically about the more recent spike in popularity.
Edit: Not sure why I'm being down voted for pointing out what I said. I very specifically was talking about the spike in popularity around 2016. I'm not talking about the topic being popular before that, because there is a specific difference in the two time frames, where interest in the topic reached a fever pitch. And yes, it is 'slowing down' compared to said fever pitch ~2016. But 'slowing down' mostly means returning to baseline.
Everyone else is circle jerking about the censorship, meanwhile, I’m wondering how murder, rape, suicide, sex, and lesbians all came up in a bumble chat.
I'll never forget about 25 years ago cruising around some random chat rooms on mIRC and somebody asked me how the weather was and I said it was a bit chilly and I got instabanned with the message potty mouth... took me a good 5 minutes to workout wtf happened (bit ch)illy
Made in china, under complete control of ccp as every big company in china is. It is very unfortunate that younger generation is essentially being raised by tiktok and its algorithm.
Facebook is bad, no doubts about that, it's also unavoidable as the only social media for most people, and it's also not fun for most people. Tiktok on the other hand is interesting, it's captivating, the algorithm tailors it to you, microdoses you with dopamine. I'm sure that same algorithm can be, if desired, used to push pro-china/pro-russia/anti-west narratives to varying degrees of subtlety, tailor-made to each user, to further destabilize certain countries, united states included.
Social media is dangerous, social media controlled by a potential enemy is dangerous on a whole another level.
Big difference between "The US isn't actually the greatest country in the world" (whatever the fuck "greatest" means, they're never too clear about that) and "Uighyurs are dangerous dissident terrorists who need to be re-educated. Any organ donations are purely voluntary."
But then again, I am talking to a CCP shill from lemmygrad. Pretty much pissing into an ocean of piss here.
Make no mistake, there have been some allegations in the UN report, that if true, I would want China to do better. But I don’t remember reading about organ harvesting in there.
Who do you trust to make reputable claims that aren’t motivated by political reasons on this?
Saw this often back then on Reddit. People wanting to curse, but the writing f*ck. If you want to curse, curse. If you think it would be too rude to spell out, just fucking don't.
I think they blur ir after. Just Japanese law prevents the showing of genitalia. Not other parts of the body. So only the vagina and penis are normally censored. However is some cases the asshole is censored too but it's not as often I don't think.
Asshole has to be censored when it's being penetrated afaik, though sometimes they just censor it along with the rest for whatever reason, probably less effort to draw.
After, which is really dumb because a lot of artists are spending time making the art only to have to put a black bar over their work for no real logical reason.
A friend of a friend died of cancer complications. I posted a rest in peace type message on Facebook without details.
The next time I saw my mother she asked "I saw your post. Did your friend unalive herself...?". It felt SO insulting and demeaning for her to ask that AND to ask like that.
"free speech only applies to government" falls apart when private companies control all communications. It's about time we reformed free speech laws to include the private sector
The terms originated from online censorship but to me using these terms IRL is very similar to people who use internet slang out loud. Might not be censoring herself but just so used to using those terms. It's annoying either way though.
You know, I never questioned where the term roflcopter came from, but I just looked it up and it comes from the WarCraft III forums in 2003. It actually refers to the gyrocopter in the game rather than a helicopter. This has been another...
SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI
It's Chinese spyware that was specifically and provably designed to dumb down Westerners even more and make the Chinese smarter by specifically showing certain content to people in those countries. Americans then fell for it harder than a billion Trojan horses and remain locked in it's grasp. That one small app took a ton of my respect for humanity away.
That's been proven not to be true, tiktok us matches all the other us social media and tiktok china matches all the other Chinese social media.
US social media is full of greed, scams, flexing, crypto pyramid schemes, and lowest common denominator trash because that's what American culture has been overwhelmed with for decades - did tiktok shit over the history channel? Did they invent MTV? Is it there fault the only movies that are made are comic book repeats?
Just finding a foreigner to blame has been an incredibly popular strategy so through history but it never actually solves the problem at hand it just obscures it so no one ever tries anything effective
So you really not understand what I'm saying? I'm also from neither of those countries but the conversation is about them, acting like China is the evil influence that makes American social media bad is silly when all other American social media is the same.
Idk man. I don't use TikTok and probably never will, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people to be able to segregate their entertainment from their intellect.
I'm surprised people downvote that idea. Part of the issue was the hordes of people of... lower intellect flooding into public forums to begin with. Segmenting them out into their own little zoo seems ideal to filter the noise out more effectively.
I meant that it should be possible to appreciate harmlessly stupid or silly/vapid humour without it degrading your ability to also reason critically about serious stuff.
Anyone old enough to remember Ren and Stimpy and the episode where they found corn in the dresser? I didn't realize it was porn...and now porn is actually called corn. I'm too fucking old.
The kids are creating corporate influenced newspeak that infantilizes serious topics instead of moving to a platform without censorship. Teen slang is great when it comes up naturally instead of because advertisers want to sanitize our thoughts so we only think about consuming products.
If I'm on a platform that penalizes using problematic languages I at least find a poetic way of expressing what I mean. "Suic*de" is fuckin stupid. Escaping this mortal coil of my own volition is cool. Well, it's not, but the words are
Yeah why shouldn't we violently attack and murder anyone who does anything we don't like? We're good people and they're bad people therefore anything we do is right and good!
There's a whole tiktok-only meta where people think that adding particular tags or censoring certain words will prevent automod from deleting their post
I'm not sure it even works that way, but it's very common
They can still use and profit from your data, they just know that there's a different culture and demand for content in the west that they can push towards the consumer to hook them more
Newspeak is intended to make more complex thoughts impossible. This isn't newspeak; they're still talking about the topics, they're just using dumb filter workarounds.
Though I do feel it'd be obnoxious to actually talk like this when not needed
Though I do feel it’d be obnoxious to actually talk like this when not needed
on the one hand, yes. on the other hand, my generation piloted the spoken use of "lol", "lmao", and their myriad variations in pronunciation. this strikes me as merely upholding that proud tradition.
I suppose eventually I'll come around to accepting it, if it persists. But these are not the same; the intent behind them is different. "LOL" is an acronym, not a censorship workaround. Saying it out loud is purely ironic. Maybe the zoomers saying Tiktokisms out loud is also ironic (I've personally never heard it directly), but the reason it exists in the first place is stupid
At first it was ironic, then it just became a muscle memory response.
Plenty of people thought text acronyms were dumb and people were even dumber for saying them, even ironically. This is just you being one of those people for the new generation of "kids these days"
There is no purpose for using the word 'grape' as a substitute for 'rape' other than to avoid tiktok moderation. It contains the full original word, therefore doesn't serve any censorship purpose. Using it this way can even recontextualise the word in a way that trivialises SA. It's harmful, unlike lol or lmao.
Seriously we can hate the platform all we want but this isn't even good as a funny response anymore. The ship has sailed and they won't be abandoning it any time soon.
My millennial partner (admittingly adopted the lingo late) approaches strangers with doggos and says things like what a Heckin good pupper, who's a smoll boi etc.
Not surprised at zoomers doing this. Its just more funny on twitter when someone says something like fugg you!

Made in china, under complete control of ccp as every big company in china is. It is very unfortunate that younger generation is essentially being raised by tiktok and its algorithm.
Facebook is bad, no doubts about that, it's also unavoidable as the only social media for most people, and it's also not fun for most people. Tiktok on the other hand is interesting, it's captivating, the algorithm tailors it to you, microdoses you with dopamine. I'm sure that same algorithm can be, if desired, used to push pro-china/pro-russia/anti-west narratives to varying degrees of subtlety, tailor-made to each user, to further destabilize certain countries, united states included.
Social media is dangerous, social media controlled by a potential enemy is dangerous on a whole another level.

Big difference between "The US isn't actually the greatest country in the world" (whatever the fuck "greatest" means, they're never too clear about that) and "Uighyurs are dangerous dissident terrorists who need to be re-educated. Any organ donations are purely voluntary."

Make no mistake, there have been some allegations in the UN report, that if true, I would want China to do better. But I don’t remember reading about organ harvesting in there.
Who do you trust to make reputable claims that aren’t motivated by political reasons on this?
theangryseal@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 2y
This right here is the answer.
Yes, we know that our government has done shitty, crazy things to try to control people and they probably aren’t above that today.
They do not have it in their best interest to weaken their own country though. A potentially hostile foreign government does.

US social media is full of greed, scams, flexing, crypto pyramid schemes, and lowest common denominator trash because that's what American culture has been overwhelmed with for decades - did tiktok shit over the history channel? Did they invent MTV? Is it there fault the only movies that are made are comic book repeats?

There is no purpose for using the word 'grape' as a substitute for 'rape' other than to avoid tiktok moderation. It contains the full original word, therefore doesn't serve any censorship purpose.
