It is useful to know at least a few words in algospeak. I think that "music festival means protest" is probably a good thing to know, considering how things are going right now.

Not everywhere, unfortunately. But, at least here you can. For the time being.

Several years ago, I got an account suspension and a comment deleted on a hobby forum I was super active on. The offense? I used the word "clusterfuck". The kicker was that at the time, search engines still supported queries like "fuck site:www.abcdef.com" and would give you a list of results specific to that website, so I tested it out, and sure enough a few dozen different threads showed up, some new, some years old, with the word "fuck" in them. Sadly, that forum is nearly dead now, partly from the puritanical moderation and lack of communication / responsiveness from those in charge.

Also, the one that irks me and seems to be fairly common. A lot of sites will have rules against using slurs and profanity, but then are somehow completely okay with someone using the term "cocksucker". That term is pretty much exclusively used with negative connotation and in homophobic context, at best it's perhaps merely misogynistic, as though that's any better. But quite often allowed. Even on the Reddit, may the lord save you if you call someone the r-word, but outside of a few specific subreddits, it's apparently perfectly fine to call someone a cocksucker.

The r-word is disliked for being ableist and having an extensive history, not for being advertiser unfriendly. Cocksucker on the other hand would be much easier to reclaim, as it simply denotes a common action that like half of humanity would willingly do.

I’m torn. Yeah, I personally think self-censoring is pretty silly and pointless, but on the other hand, I don’t want to mock people for expressing themselves in a way they’re comfortable with.

Are they expressing themselves the way THEY are comfortable with, or the way the think advertisers will allow?

That’s part of the problem. I don’t know, and I don’t wanna assume the worst when I don’t know their motivation.

Choosing not to swear is fine. Choosing to swear is fine. Choosing to swear but leaving out a few letters is ridiculous behaviour and deserving of mockery. If someone chooses to do something silly then being laughed at is a predictable consequence.

I've just given up replying to comments there, I know the chances are less than 50% that it'll ever be read and there's even a chance it'll just get deleted by automoderation straight up.

It doesn’t work! All I get are Lord of the Rings quotes. Is there a setting that I’m missing?
