Visibilty - i have no idea if there are censoring algorithms at play anywhere.
- hdgvhicv 9mo agoChilling effects. Western culture is taken over by American Puritian values thanks to the globlaisation of the media.
- drstewart 9mo agoPuritans were English protestants. I think you mean to say it's being taken over by European values.
- perching_aix 9mo agoAh yes, after muricans bad, let's have some euros bad. I learn some amazing things on this site. Apparently the culture agnostic, historical practice of designating words and phrases as distasteful is actually a modern American, European, no actually Globalist, but ah no actually religious, but also no maybe Chinese?, no, definitely a Russian mind virus. Whatever the prominent narrative is for the given person at any given time. Bit like when "mums is blaming everything on the computer". Just with political sophistry.
- hdgvhicv 9mo agoPuritans were kicked out of Europe for their views
- drstewart 9mo agoNothing says tolerance and no censorship like kicking out people for their views
- perching_aix 9mo agoIf people are tolerant, they're woke. If people are intolerant, they're nazis. Standards of conduct are oppressive, but the lack of them indicate a shithole. And of course, anything in-between is just performative fence-sitting. Tough crowd over here. Cultural bankruptcy speedrun much?
- hdgvhicv 9mo agoSo European values of the 1500s through 1700s are not puritan values. Europe has liberalised since then.
- lawn 9mo agoCensoring shit or fuck is very much not a European thing.
- perching_aix 9mo agoMhmm, so chilling. Cause word filters aren't as old as computing itself...
- hdgvhicv 9mo agoDon’t need to ban speech when your population preemptively does it for you in fear of an unaccountable corporation blocking you.
- perching_aix 9mo agoDon't need to ban speech when people on their soapboxes keep telling me I need to be in terror. Will somebody pleeeaaaase think of American Puritanism and Globalism?
- andrepd 9mo ago"Unalive" has reached mainstream usage, on account of those inscrutable censors. If that is not the spitting picture of Newspeak I don't know what is.
- rjh29 9mo agoThe trend of self-censoring words like 'dead' and 'kill' appears to be relatively new, motivated by TikTok and YouTube algorithms, but spilling over into the general internet.
- martin-t 9mo agoCorrelation is not causation but I challenge anyone to come up with a different cause: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=tiktok,unalive&hl=en https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=tiktok,u... https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=unalive&hl=en https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=unalive&...
