This is what I particularly hate about self censorship

If you are behaving a certain way to please an algorithm or an advertiser, you're just cosplaying as a bot—particularly on lemmy where all it's going to accomplish is annoyance

Say whatever the fuck you like, it's more human

But what if what I want to say sometimes resembles the self censorship anyway, because my anxieties make me want to avoid coming off as too "mean" regardless of what some corpo thinks?
- Are you fucking serious?
  Good.
  Are you serious?
  Another great option if you don't want to swear.
  Are you f*cking serious?
  Dumb autocensorship. Don't ever do this. Either spell it out or leave the word out altogether. This accomplishes nothing.
I self censor because my intrusive thoughts are especially unkind to people who don't deserve it. But they'll pry the word fuck out of my cold, dead fucking hands.

I swear at this point I dreamed this, but I have a distinct memory about an underground newspaper somewhere that was getting hassled by censorship interests, that published an issue with the following on the cover:
Fuck. Shit. Cunt. Piss.
Serious ask - if anyone remembers this and can toss up a link about it, I'd appreciate it. Have looked a few times and turned up nothing, pretty sure it came up when I was in school researching random stuff related to the U.S. circa 1960s-1970s but could be wrong.
Assuming I didn't dream this, always wanted a framed photocopy of it.
Edit: it might be buried under stuff about George Carlin's 7 words you can never say on television, but I swear this was something else.

I have watched this man try (and fail) to get dropped by his VPN sponsor by doing ever increasingly unhinged skits.

He truly walks the walk.

Remember when that one American restaurant chain was the most popular shit because the social media person started posting brainrot on twitter? Or the funny caffeine powder with big anime tiddies? Same effect.
- I don't recall the caffeine powder actually. Unless that's the one sponsoring all the streamers and such with the cups that have big ol Anime tiddies printed on it, in which case I didn't know they were funny.
- Or the funny caffeine powder with big anime tiddies?
  I do not remember this

There is a big fucking difference between swear words, slurs and straight up death threats.

Right, but which of the following will be deemed unacceptable by the AI scanners of the corporate behemoth?
Shut your cunt mouth you sloppy fucking bitch
I will permanently impede the flow of oxygen to your brain, you scurrying insect
Well, my victims only die from secondary infections, not the act of skinning them alive.
- Cool
Just make it incredible. I will feed you to a pack of wolves.
- My children will watch your clones fight to the death.

That's an incredible response.

I will not be food for monsters. If their blade finds my flesh, may they drown in my blood

Oh man I got banned from AITA years ago for calling the clearly incredible asshole third party "cunt", cuz that's a slur.

Having been watching Australian streamers right before didn't help but come on...

That's basically our informal period point

I always thought Tumblr was mostly filled with sensitive souls and erotic fan-fiction.

This is true until you find the hard-core bdsm shit.
There are some strange rabbit holes on Tumblr.
NSFW Content isn't allowed on Tumblr

piss and shit!!!!!!

Farts and poop!
- Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.

This is how you get places like 4chan. I'd rather have a place where everyone is nice and bigots get banned than have a "marketplace of ideas" where everyone is an asshole. Really cool that you want your freedom of saying "I want to skin you alive" but what about my freedom of not having to get that said to me?

I don't know if they know that some people are nice because they want to, not because they have to.

What about not having rules against certain words but against certain behaviours?
- Fine by me.
  To add to my original point: What OP says against corporate sanitization is true (e.g. weid Youtube monetization rules), but it's also the exact same thing bigots say because they want to call people slurs. And I don't want to give them what they want.
Forums that were moderated by small communities were the shit.
Being able to report something and have an actual person review it is a luxury few face on modern social media.
one of the things that i think the post talks about is fostering a culture. extremely over-the-top threats are normal on tumblr because it's a place where everyone is nice. ironically, less overt stuff is taken more seriously because you can tell that it's not in jest.
Thats the beauty of the fediverse imo. Find a cosy instance that suits you. Block instances that don't
I principally agree with you, it's why I use reddit/lemmy and not 4chan.
But there is a difference, albeit hard to convey correctly through text. But I think some of the extreme responses mentioned are the ones in the banter type. It's a kind of response when someone jokingly says "Star Wars and Star Trek is pretty much the same" and you go "I'll skin you alive" due to the unjust comparison. It sure as hell don't work with strangers, but it can within an community since everyone knows neither party is serious about it. Which is what the original post kind of says that it can work in the right community.
- Oh I totally get that.
  But the way OP puts it just reminds me too much of what the "free speech absolutists" are spouting and we've all seen where that leads.
As a Zoomer this is what I hate about a lot of Millennials. They think allowing people to do anything that might make anyone a little uncomfortable leads to allowing Nazis to run rampant. I'm not even the abrasive person but... some people really DO need a thicker skin. There's a huge difference between extreme expressions of anger, and genocide advocacy. In fact, a lot of bigotry is disturbingly polite.
But it's also how you get places like Tumblr

You can say ***ger with a hard 'r' if you want. Watch:

Ahem,

GINGER!

NAGGER!
Stop nagging! So annoying!
Woah! Fucking with the G-word is just not on!
V'ger!

Whoa, I remember him! asdfmovie was my childhood!

It warms my heart to know it's still going on

Cuntshit motherfucking whoresons

Pick up a fuckgun and join the resistance

I don't like self censorship to appease some algorithm. But if you threaten to skin me alive I will at the very least report you to the mods. You can have freedom of speech without being an asshole.

Listen here you little shit! I'll boil your hide in marmalade and eat your ass for breakfast!
- Promise?
yeah but what about my freedom to skin people alive your repressing me
- bitch needs a lesson in a little thing called "negative rights": you skinning GP alive denies me my right to skin GP.

There's quite a gap between swearing and threatening to skin someone alive, I'd say.

Asdf my beloved

I do miss the old internet where most people were smart enough to not use their real name and to not take people too seriously.

Man I'm old enough to remember if you posted a photo of yourself online you'd get ridiculed to high heaven over it. I remember one dude in an IRC room I used to frequent linking a photo of himself and people just went nuts making fun of him.
Does no one remember the "Hello My Future Girlfriend" kid?

What a cunt.

You hurt my feelings.

I got banned from Twitter before the purchase, and Tumblr years before that for being early to the public hyperviolence irony memes.

Coca Cola is grinding up Palestinian children to color coke.

Is this guy replying to himself?

Am I replying to this?

You folks are censoring yourselves while I'm over here fed posting like the greasy American-Scot that I am! Sanity is for WASPs and Mormons I am neither so I shall swear, drink, and kill like my ancestors or at least I shall idolize such actions. Kind hard to commit hate crimes when things like modern forensics exist.

the world also really needs more yonic imagery to balance things out

For those who (like me) don't know, yonic is the coordinate term to phallic

Someone that I know whose gone through some shit and works as a reporter for WaPo found out a that they had cancer (they've been in remission for a while now so LFG) and someone sought to be a shithead about it, I told them that I hope that they accidentally sound themselves one day and I got sent to Twitter Jail, worth it, assholes have never deserved being creatively being called assholes more than right now.

I agree with everything but the last part.

We ARE animals. Thats why its so fucking sad we kill them by the millions.

Oh man, I fucking cuss all the time here on Lemmy. Tumblr is a goddamn church compared to here.

May I add "twat swatter" to the list?

"Be edgy, fuck the system", said the soyboy on two extremely mainstream sites while not actually getting banned from either.

(Is calling someone a soyboy worse than saying you'll skin them alive?)

It's sort of a nazi insult, as in, insult that neonazis use.
- True, but I'd say it's more something folks pick up along the modern social media-to-nazi pipeline.
  Not everyone who says it is a full-blown neonazi, but if a friend or family member suddenly starts using it unironically, you should sit them down and ask them what the fuck is going on ASAP.

Fuck all, y'all. Buncha rowdy cunts.
