How about stop posting poorly cropped memes.
This trend is as annoying as poorly censored words.
I'm not much on mainstream social media anymore. But what is it with all this censoring bullshit?
Years of social media conditioning. People are scared to post what they want lest they be de-platformed. That's where "unalived" and "grape" come from.
yea ok. then i'm again at a point where I don't get censoring at all. We all know that "to unalive" means "kill" and even a kid would get that. We all know when a person on TV says FUCK when they put a little beep over the U but we still hear the F and CK sound.
So if we all keep doing/saying ""bad"" things but now in badly cropped memes or barely censored, then who are we doing this for? For the algorithm which would flag this automatically?
I agree with you that self censoring by way of developing algo-safe speak... is very fucking silly to do in places where that actual censoring doesn't exist.
But!
In at least this case, I think the shitty crop makes it funnier, in the way a badly shot or framed picture can imply hurriedness or lack of skill or care.
I would agree, except I see it over and over again. It feels more like someone just trying to generate content without caring. More Algo-behavior.
