STOP FUCKING CENSORSLOPPING FUCKING POSTS
FTFY /j
Do you really think the OP is actually on twitter, curating these fine screencaps for us themselves?
Why would you post something that’s been censored?
Stop sharing censored posts then? I’m tired of all these fucking cowards giving in to bullshit censorship.
I understand what you’re saying.
However, if artifacts from a screenshot’s trip around the web is the worst thing that’s happened to you this week, maybe consider how lucky you are.
Or maybe something bad has happened. Have you had a bad week or month and it’s coming out here? It’s ok to admit it when we’re scared or afraid. Fear is the mind killer, after all. Fear makes us act in irrational ways.
Like calling a bot account that shares twitter screenshots a fucking coward giving in to bullshit censorship because a script pulls images from a site somewhere else that cares about that kind of thing.
I’m more concerned with the original censorship than the bot propagating it. It’s showing humans are being convinced to align with a campaign of self regulation that aligns with, in my opinion, a dim and sad future driven by puritans at best or authoritarians at worst.
Of course, no one should be normalizing authoritarian styles of leadership. But that perspective is a relative luxury only afforded to privileged people not living in that situation already.
Have you considered the possibility that whatever the source is of these weakly censored images is intended to demonstrate the ease with which anyone can circumvent repressive blocks? To mock them? That whoever’s account this is spends the time to minimally censor for the bots to ensure that, more importantly, the message gets out regardless of the rules? That posts like this demonstrate the futility and arrogance of the limp-dicked censorship, mocking its effects and demonstrating the paper tiger for what it is?
That this post about whales having an argument demonstrates that censorship is flawed and brittle and fucking stupid. That anyone can get around it when it’s important to do so. That authoritarians, be they Zuckerburg or Putin, are foolish in their hubris.
Or do you only see this for what it is?
I understand your underlying point and I can appreciate the mocking component, but I think these are done to optimize engagement for monetary reasons but that current of revenue is heavily tainted with something worse. I’m all for passive resistance though as we step into enforced regulation of speech.
Fair points.
My underlying point might be that whatever site it is that the screencaps come from is silly bullshit. But the more important point is that when you let it stress you out, the censors are winning. They’re using fear to manipulate you off your baseline. And you’re not even a desired subject of their censorship! You are putting yourself under control by reacting with fear.
Flashers do what they do to elicit a reaction of fear and horror. The reaction they don’t want, more than anything, is laughter. To have the insecurity that drives them called out.
In this case, I’m asking you to think rationally about this and see it as an indicator or what you’ve correctly noted. But also laugh at it and understand that if you don’t let it force a reaction in you, that you can react to it when and how is bet for the goals you have. Then you are in control.
How about you start sharing what you want to see on Lemmy then? You posted 30 posts in almost 3 years… LadyButterfly creates like 40% of content on this platform.
I think butterfly has a script that uploads, which is why sometimes their script fails and you get garbleposts/images
I hope they start censoring the words with tiny versions of the word that they’re censoring
This is an acceptable alternative, family friendly and maliciously compliant in the same breath
fufuckck
Like this?
Yep, that’ll do
You have a right to curse on the internet.
They have the right to censor their own post.
I don’t get why so many people get actually angry about this.
I think they aren’t happy with people self-censoring their posts to please an algorithm. It’s not about their right to self-censor but users feel they have to do it to avoid penalties when they should not have to. Those mild forms of self-censorship are only the beginning. On Youtube you can already see people re-inventing newspeak by replacing ordinary words like “killed” with “unalived” to avoid algorithmic penalties. That’s fucked up.
Yeah, it’s pretty terrible. There’s a political podcast I was starting to listen to, and the guy on it was talking about how the Venezuelans Trump sent to CECOT were sexually assaulted: he said "They were graped!"
I was like "Did this motherfucker actually say graped?" Yes, yes he did. Obviously, I couldn’t keep listening after that. What the fuck is wrong with people?

I’d agree if we were on an algorithm site. Be mad at the site for censoring people’s free speech.
But we’re on the Fediverse. It’s poster’s choice.
If you don’t want to see something, just block it and make your own.
I’m not mad at anyone. You said you can’t understand why people are angry about this and I wanted to help ^^
I was speaking to a general you, not you in particular. I appreciate your help attempt
It’s deliberate, it’s just engagement bait.
Not to get all conspiracy theorist, but the poster does a lot of posting of twitter posts, usually screenshots that often show both light mode and dark mode. Indicating that they are not actually on twitter themselves, but are getting the screencaps from somewhere else.
It’s far more likely that Lady Butterfly isn’t intentionally rage-baiting you by censoring words to foil text recognition, but is getting screen caps and posting them on Lemmy to our benefit from a source that is concerned with text recognition and getting an NSFW tag.
This isn’t worth getting worked up about if you just think about it for literally 2 seconds.
Agreed, the censorship comes from the original source, not the poster on Lemmy - and the original source is the one responsible for the engagement bait.
Isn’t that just every taylor swift album?
“This would be a real banger if we mixed in a synthesizer and some orchestral music.” --Jeff Lynne (Probably)
He may not have actually said that but he certainly thought it and he was not wrong.
Damn I hate that YouTube nation-blocks content, like damn, what does it matter for an Australian to watch it?
