Daniel Suelo already did that

Why, in the name of god, does Lemmy's obsession with censorship include the word "jerk?"

It's my personal choice. I want to be able to show the content of my posts and comments to anyone (edit: not only adults or unsupervised peers).

It's bullshit and you should stop.

It's a pattern of destroying information over puritanical nonsense. Treat people like adults.

These comments alone prove that some people are not adults.

Infantalizing people for their own good --> infantalizing people as an insult.

More behavior you need to cut the fuck out.

But muh freedom

It's not about freedoms. Your self-censorship is wasting everyone's time, because we need to decipher what you meant.

This was not supposed to be a fucking riddle.

Ignorance of Daniel Suelo is ignorance of Daniel Suelo.

I can’t find this being a problem. What circles do you move in where “jerk” is a problematic word?

The whole thing after "programming" is the problem. I can't remember why I didn't censor the whole word.

Your self-censorship actually makes your already bad meme even worse because it's incomprehensible.

But sure, it's your right.

Pretty dumb, honestly. If anything it just adds a Streisand effect to it as people try to figure out what's censored.

Not that censoring it has any value whatsoever. Like if a child sees that, so fucking what?

If I included cussing in "[YTP] Intoducing Apple Pro", then I wouldn't have been able to show it in my self introduction presentation in a high school class. I can't guarantee that cleanness wouldn't have a similar benefit for this meme.

dont listen to the others. u are free to censor your own content; it is still completely readable. people just want to complain about something.
