Hey, you’re trying to censor with asterisks but Lemmy interprets those as formatting instructions. If you want the asterisks to show up, you need to put a backslash in front of them like so:
Cheap ones are s\**t, worn out ones are also s\**t.
Is it brainwashing, or adapting to circumvent actual censorship? People say “unalive” because “kill” will hide your content from the algorithm, if it doesn’t remove it entirely.
Cheap ones are s##t, worn out ones are also s##t. Adjusting the tension on the tape roller is a fine art as batch to batch the glue can change.
God I need to get out more !

Thanks, forgot not everything is plain text !
And we’re all adult enough to handle reading the words.
It’s such a strange idea to use bad words but okay it by censoring letters out. Either use the word or don’t.
Okay. I was explaining how to do asterisks.
Sorry, it wasn’t directed towards you. I was thinking out loud.
You can say “shit” on the Internet.
They’re being brainwashed by corpo social media to self-censor, a necessary 1984 step.
Edit: Fuck.

What is brainwashing if not forced adaptation to manufactured requirements?
Am you brainwashed for wearing clothes in public?
And yet here we all are, reading your comment. Maybe the algorithms on some platforms are that aggressive, but certainly not here.
Best edit ever.
Also, fuck.
Well shit, shitty, shit shit shit…
Much better, thank you
Let them self censor. It’s their comment.
I’d personally prefer to see special characters than word replacement like “unalive”
There are multitudinous other words they could choose from.
I use “atropos” to replace it.
Because “thanatos” is filtered now.
Unalive is a s##tty replacement for the word shit.
Unalive is the replacement for dead.
Well, yes. That’s why it’s a slutty replacement for s##t.
You can say slutty on the internet.
How dare
Send bobs and vagine.
