    I think they can’t stand the censorship of the word kinky, even though it was done that way because it would have been blocked on the original source. I suspect they’d rather be staring at no content than be reminded that other networks will hide or ban posts because they have suggestive themes.

    Down votes really don’t mean s*** here and I hope that we can continue to have content in any form that it will come across. The platform is still starved for content so fuck all if I care that a word is censored in a screenshot from another fucking platform

        not fuck either several words before that. ;)

        4 months ago, I was using Google’s dictation for most of my responses. Turning it on and off in software was a decent PITA and I left it on for work purposes. I don’t really care if something is censored or not on Lemmy. I don’t, however, feel like I particularly owe it to people here to uncensor shit that dictation censors.

        In this particular case, I dictated the whole response, but it fucked up the end of the line so bad, I had to go back and swype it back in, since the default is not to censor, the rewritten portion didn’t get censored.

        I’ve changed over to Futo dictation now, it doesn’t have the option to censor so i’ve pretty much been uncensored for a couple months now with the downside being i need to watch my mouth in work chats. And to be fair, f*** isn’t meaningfully better than !!!FUCK!!! in a work chat from HR standards, so I was probably wrong all along not to turn it off and watch my language where it matters.
