"Oh no, a bad word!
Better cross it out so no-one thinks I’m using bad words.
But not all the way, so everyone still knows what the bad word is but also recognises my attempt to save them from seeing a bad word!
I’m such a good person (but also cool 😎)!"
Apparently the reason people started doing this was because the algorithms would recognize the word and demote them on other sites, but a simple strike through or messy crossout would not get the same treatment. If it’s dumb but it works, it’s not dumb?
Learn algospeek is humans already getting twisted by pretzels.
That said we should have a better way to deal with racial slurs than ostracization.
Because I might have never died before but I used to be a kid and we loved all the no no words. That means probably todays kids are hyperaware of them and I can’t think of a better way to perpetuate racist thoughts than to teach their words to all the kids via reverse psychology.
Guess what I’m saying is that I rather the kids learn slurs in a safe space than behind the neighbour’s shed and come back preganement with brain racism !
Group chats are the main way I keep in contact with my friends these days
Group chats >>>>> social media
Wait…I’m supposed to have friends in 2024?
No, having unhealthy parasocial relationships is the way to go.
I am the keeper of my friend circle’s groupchat via an XMPP server. It’s been really good. We mostly post memes about chopping off bezos head in there until the Amazon suicide bots kill us all in our sleep.
Imagine dying, bro just manifest life.
Dying is a lifestyle choice
Must be hard to die when you haven’t died before 🥲
Yeah, I also consider that when it’s time to die, it will be my first time.
Found out that your ex gf favorite boyband member died from lemmyshitpost meme, life is weird
The one direction IQ in the chat went is down.
Mostly coordinating meet ups and people posting pokemon go shit but I don’t participate in that side of it.
I hate group chats. I engage with people one on one - I can understand one, maybe two persons…
But people? Fuck that. Persons are complex, people are insane
