  • This misses the point.

    The censorship is done in a manner that doesn’t prevent the message from being delivered. The only thing it accomplishes is the obfuscation of a word. It doesn’t stop you from knowing the word, or interpreting the word, or being affected by the word, it only acts as a facade of moderation, it’s “Moderation Theater”.

    It’s been implemented with all the intent of censoring the speech, but only censors the word, so they’re either implementing their censorship poorly, or they’re implementing it disingenuously. Ask the moderators which, but the only effect their attempt at censorship has had is to limit legitimate speech as evidenced by the comment with the broken links showing the collateral damage.












  • I browsed reddit primarily with RIF for over 13 years, I made GDPR request for my data, and once I received it I edited all my comments to the copy pasta statement about reddit ruining itself, I then got summarily banned the day before RIF went 429. Made an account on lemmy.world. Feels like reddit during the Digg migration, I remember that exodus just as fondly.
