Noticed not many people use curse words.
So… why the fuck not?
Lemmy has a hard-coded swear word filter that replaces a number of words with removed. Not seeing words makes you less likely to use them yourself.
That depends on the instance, on lemm.zip I don’t have any filters to my knowledge.
it used to have it hardcoded in software but I believe they made it an instance option a bit before the reddit exodus
We do as far as I know. But more for actual slurs (like homophobic ones).
Generally I’m against filters, if someone writes a bad word I want to see it and then decide for myself if I report and/or block them.
You bitch ass motherfucker, most don’t
Meh, I save my swears for special occasions, for when I want to make it clear shit is real.
Otherwise metaphors more plum than the violets of Persia do me fine. (That’s actually a simile.)
It can be totally jarring. I swear all the time, but if I threw some swears in my comments from my history then the messages behind them would be weakened.
for myself I try not to cuss out other people but if I see someome doing something eggregious or I do something stupid then I’ll swear at them or myself
otherwise I try not to swear too much
ymmvhope everyone has a fucking fantastic holiday tho!🤗
What the fuck do you care cunt?
The fuck would i care if people fucking swear or not, as long as you don’t fucking target your fucking swear at others then you be fucking damn sure no one will fucking have any fucking problem with your fucking swear.
Fuck off.
Fuck on!
Like Mr Miyagi said.
“fuck off, fuck on, fuck off! The fucker!”
Because I can get my fucking point across without them
There’s not really much need for swearing in most comments/posts I come across on lemmy/kbin, so I’m not surprised it’s uncommon.
I don’t see a problem with bringing out the occasional swear word for particular emphasis or humour, but when someone can’t write regular posts/comments without cursing it’s pretty likely they’re just a kid trying to be edgy on the internet.
I noticed my posts don’t get submitted when I swear. I also don’t post in this case, because sometimes you need to swear to make a point.
I love casual profanities, fuck that.
Step one: instead of “Ass,” say “Buns” Like “Kiss my buns” or “You’re a buns hole” Step two: instead of “Shit,” say “Poo” As in “Bull-poo,” “Poo-head,” and “This poo is cold” Step three: with bitch, drop the ‘T’ 'Cause “Bich” is Latin for generosity! Step four: don’t say “Fuck” anymore 'Cause “Fuck” is the worst word that you can say So just use the word, “M’kay!”
I couldn’t remember what this was from until the end!
Someone, somewhere in the fediverse, is going to see a bunch of “removed” and wonder what this comment says lol
This is the internet. You can say “fuck”
I try to ease up on the c word when I think I might be replying to an American because I’m aware it has pretty hideous connotations over there.
there’s a subset of women here that go absolutely berserk if you call them a cunt in certain contexts. besides them though, its just another curse word here. use it as you please. pretty fun to say sometimes. and if you say it with an aussie accent, you have a free pass to say it whenever you want
Just use ankle for Americans, it’s less offensive to them and most of them are about three feet lower than a cunt anyways.
