Yes, I'm aware I can curse on the internet - it's not my first day here. I use the exact words I mean to use, and I'm more a fan of the precision F-strike than indiscriminately carpet-bombing the place with "fucks". Stop word-policing me (and others).

Edited to add alt text.

Yeah, this went over about as well as expected. And the irony and hypocrisy of the free speech absolutists coming out of the woodwork to tell us all what we can and can't say is not lost on me.

Forking shirtballs, people need to listen to you

I've posted about this before and met the same results. People are very convinced that the danger of the internet becoming more ad friendly is more important that letting people say what they wanna say. In a way I do get it, but it's annoying not being able to do what you wanna do.

I mean people could also stop word-policing themselves

the only thing more annoying than someone self-censoring are the billion people telling them to stop self-censoring

like we get it, we don’t need 20000 replies saying the same thing!!!!!!!!

What are you talking about with free speech absolutists? I think you are trying to reach a different audience than Lemmy because I think most people here think that's stupid.

Stop response-policing us

I don't like censored swear words and I want to censor them

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 3 points 5 days ago

I have had it with these monkey-fighting swears on this Monday through Friday post!

What the fresh frelling hesmana is this?

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

Is cursing still a thing? I thought it was just a part of regular expression nowadays.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

You're FUCKING annoyed. Yes adults can swear. Even those who choose not to should reject language policing put in place by big corporations. Who police because they want more ad revenue. This post shows a level of cluelessness.

Something somewhere has gone sideways. May I ask for an example of that which annoys you?

[–] Embargo@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Reading this internet self-censorship makes me want to f-wording unalive myself fr.

It is also someone's prerogative to criticise it if they want to. Stop word policing people, OP.
